Description
The Programme seeks to develop and reinforce the abilities of local and regional governments, communal authorities and the general population to improve local adaptive management of environmental resources and the provision of services in High Andean rural areas through a participatory, informed and decentralized perspective that effectively incorporates environmental and climate change issues into public policy decisions at the local and regional government levels. The joint Programme will focus on 3 MDG’s, with MDG 7 given the greatest weight. The proposal will contribute to the current process to decentralize public management and strengthen the opportunities for civil society cooperation, participation and oversight in rural areas that are characterized by extreme poverty, weakened social capital, environmental degradation and vulnerability to extreme climatic events. Information provision, awareness enhancement, research, training, coordination and advocacy activities will be conducted.
