Experiences in developing a National Environment Information Network: A Uganda Case Study
www.grida.no/publications/the-uganda-case-study/
GA has supported a case study that traces the experiences that
Uganda has gone through to develop a strong and functional
National Environment Information Network, and to mainstream
environmental information in national and local level decision
making processes. This case study will be of great value to many
African countries that are just embarking on this journey, and serves
to demonstrate that with enduring support and focus from both the
national government and development partners, coupled with a
clear vision on the part of the institutions responsible for
environmental management in the country, environmental
information networks can make an important contribution in
achieving improved decision making in Africa.
IEA Community Platform
In collaboration with the International Institute for Sustainable
Development (IISD), GA launched the Integrated Environmental
Assessment (IEA) on-line interactive training resource platform. It
includes numerous IEA tools, methods, case studies and reports.
Users can share their experiences in applying IEA methodologies in
their regions as well as learning from the experiences of a diverse
network of practitioners from around the World, communicating with
colleagues, and participating in development and testing of new IEA
resources.
