European Community's Poverty Reduction Effectiveness Programme (EC-PREP) research project: Streamlining poverty-environment linkages in the European Community's development assistance
Abstract
The first section of this final report comprises an introduction split into the following parts: background and problem statement, objective, methodology, key findings, recommendations, and key limitations/challenges.
This report calls on the need to improve environment-poverty streamlining in early stages of country/CSP programming towards more sufficiently prioritizing (and financing) environmental and related activities. Various entry points to strengthen environment-poverty integration in the CSP process are identified. These notably include practical suggestions on: developing useable guidelines to integrate the environment-poverty dimension in focal areas of EC development cooperation (macro support, transport, rural development, etc.); integrating poverty-environment linkages at the core of CSP/country programming; developing clear strategic institutional procedures to improve accountability of environment mainstreaming in country programming; and prioritizing support towards developing strong environmental management in partner ACP countries.
