CR 3: Capacities for strategy, policy and legislation development Indicator 9 – Extent of the environmental planning and strategy development process The environmental planning and strategy development process is not coordinated and does not produce adequate environmental plans and strategies 0 There are adequate environmental plans and strategies in the DEC but these are partially implemented because of funding and other constraints. Past political instability has hampered sustained efforts for environmental conservation generally, due to changes in leadership and frequent new policy directives. The EMIS will be institutionalized with DEC, the transformation of which will strengthen its sustainability, which in turn will facilitate more sustained implementation of national environmental strategies, including those with a global agenda. The EMIS is already part of the DEC corporate plan. Training workshops under the project are directly targeted to sufficiently large numbers of individuals in order to have the human resources necessary for policy implementation and oversight. 1, 2 The environmental planning and strategy development process does produce adequate environmental plans and strategies but there are not implemented/used 1 Adequate environmental plans and strategies are produced but there are only partially implemented because of funding constraints and/or other problems 2 2 The environmental planning and strategy development process is well coordinated by the lead environmental organizations and produces the required environmental plans and strategies; which are being implemented 3 Indicator 10 – Existence of an adequate environmental policy and regulatory frameworks The environmental policy and regulatory frameworks are insufficient; they do not provide an enabling environment 0 Adequate environmental legislation is in place, but requirements of the Rio Conventions are not effectively integrated into or interpreted through national legislation.
