POLICY INTEGRATION: ENVIRONMENT AND DEVELOPMENT IN ASIA — by David P. Angel — last modified 2007-06-09 17:53

David P. Angel, Laskoff Professor Clark University Worcester, MA, USA And Michael T. Rock, Professor of Economics Hood College Frederick, MD USA This paper was written with support from the United States Asia Environmental Partnership. The views expressed are those of the authors and do not necessarily represent the position of the United States Asia Environmental Partnership. March 2001 2 Abstract For the twin goals of environmental improvement and poverty reduction to be met within developing Asia there is a need for greater pro-active management of the economyenvironment interface than occurs under existing policy approaches. Many observers are now calling for policy integration – for the internalization of environmental concerns within core economic development strategies and policies. Significant obstacles exist to the adoption and implementation of effective systems of environmental protection within developing Asia, including weak and under-resourced institutions of environmental regulation, and a shortage of political will to implement necessary reforms. Policy integration appears to offer a way forward to overcome these obstacles. In this paper, we examine policy integration as a way of enhancing environmental protection by more closely aligning efforts to improve environmental quality and economic performance within developing Asian economies. We draw upon the experience of East Asian Newly Industrializing Economies to provide practical examples of policy integration in action. We draw out the implications of the East Asian experience for other developing countries within the Asia Pacific region and explore ways in which organizations of environmental protection and economic development can work together without compromising their individual autonomy.

Tropical Forestry and Biodiversity (FAA 118 and 119) Analyses - Lessons Learned and Best Practices from Recent USAID Experience — by ARD — last modified 2007-07-07 19:15

In amendments to the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961, Sections 118 and 119, enacted in 1987, Congress imposed mandatory “Country Analysis Requirements” related to the conservation and sustainable use of tropical forests and biological diversity on the U.S. Agency for International Development. This review of USAID’s recent experience in conducting and using Tropical Forestry and Biodiversity analyses was designed to identify the lessons learned from that experience, and to develop updated recommendations and practical, “how to” advice for Missions or Regional Bureaus based on the best practices that could be found. Produced in September, 2005. Under contract to ARD. Lead author: Bruce Byers (Feb 2006 revised copy posted)
