Project to increase awareness among developing country policymakers of the links between economic policies and sustainable environmental and natural resource (ENR) use, and to upgrade the technical and human resources needed for informed policy decisions. Activities will be in the areas of research, information dissemination, policy dialogue, institutional strengthening, and human resources development. Two kinds of research will be supported. (1) State-of-the-art, multidisciplinary research will be undertaken in priority areas where policy impinges on environmental quality and natural resource use. Initially, considerable attention will be given to synthesizing research and field experience of other institutions and A.I.D. projects, and to producing and disseminating guidelines and other materials based on these syntheses for use by A.I.D and host country practitioners, policymakers, and researchers. (2) The project will also support applied in-country research, upon request, in areas of economic policy/ENR interaction of major concern to host countries and A.I.D. missions. Research findings and improved analytical methods will be disseminated through publications, newsletters

When the program ran, from its start year to the latest document year. A hatched bar means the start is our estimate. Source: award and document years
Axis: award years, end from years in documents. The start year comes from award fiscal year; the end is the latest document year, so the program may have run longer.
Who started the program, and which administration it began under. Timing only; it does not say who started it. Source: initiative records, start year
