Report on UNEP/ECA mission on evaluation and assessment of and advice on national environmental; machineries in selected African countries (project FP/0302-75-130)

Abstract

The future of the environment lies in judicious commitments and actions by national governments. Such possible active awareness of policy-makers, administrators and the public of the broad implications of the environmental course and through effective institutional arrangements coupled with relevant statutory provisions which are scrupulously enforced by national authorities is of permanent importance.The project under review was to enable UNEP, together with ECA to establish baselines with regard to the above, establish contacts for advisory services and lay the groundwork for future co-operative activities towards effecting the above goal and thereby promote and enhance the environment in the region.
