National capacity development for implementing Rio Conventions through environmental governance
The Rio project aims to enhance the capacity of relevant policy and institutional stakeholders to enable compliance with the three Rio Conventions and other Multilateral Environmental Agreements (MEAs). Specifically, this will be carried out by targeted capacity building programmes for government staff at the local, regional and national levels on the provisions of Rio Convention as these apply to their roles and responsibilities to implement associated development interventions and policies. The expected outcome of the project ensures the identified best practices and innovative approaches meeting and sustaining Rio Conventions are available and accessible for implementation through national development policies and programmes.
