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.
Børge Brende
Norwegian Minister of
Environment
