Preface

The Norwegian Government ’s policy is to integrate environmental considerations into our development co-operation. Environmental assistance should be a means of strengthening environmental management and improving the state of the environment in partner countries.

Special attention will be given to the implementation of environmental conventions, sector integration of environmental policies, including environmental impact assessment,as well as local participation.

This leaflet gives an introduction to the kind of assistance Norway can provide in the field of environment. It is my hope that the leaflet will make it easier for you to identify and make contact with relevant institutions set up to assist you in this field.
