Project Description
In 1998, six members of the donor environment forum (UNDP, Danida, Sida, CIDA, SDC and the Dutch) agreed to fund a study that would “draw lessons learned from previous donor support to the environment sector; and make recommendations for the directions and nature of future support.” This study especially reviews donor support during the previous five years and makes recommendations looking five years into the future (from 1996 to 2005). It evaluates the appropriateness of previous support dating back to 1985.
