Africa Environment Outlook 3 (AEO 3)

AFRICA ENVIRONMENT OUTLOOK 3 • Authors’ Guide

PART 6

The AEO is a comprehensive integrated report on the

African Environment. The AEO-3, in particular, will focus

on the inter-linkages between health and environment. The

report is designed to function as a tool for policy makers

and other stakeholders to monitor and assess environment-

health challenges in Africa and take appropriate actions

for improving environmental sustainability and public

health. As such it will be based on solid and scientifically

credible evidence.

The process to produce the report is an iterative one

that relies heavily on feedback. It is designed to adapt to

changes in the current situation, the players involved and

even resources available. The advantage with this is that the

AEO team can benefit from better opportunities, or issues

as well as ideas that emerge during the process.

These guidelines have been developed to serve as a reference

point for all players involved in the production process. They

are not cast in stone and will be subject to periodic review,

and improvement over time, depending on inputs from the

AEO-3 team and other players. These Guidelines are meant

to make the AEO tool more robust by setting tasks for the

players, and clarifying their roles and responsibilities.
