This report details the process of identifying and subsequently integrating log frame environmental indicators to support the implementation of the "Economic Development and Poverty Reduction Strategy (EDPRS).
This report is structured around two arguments: firstly, natural resources and ecosystem services in particular have a significant contribution to economic growth and poverty reduction, secondly, failure to manage natural resources, conserve and protect the ecosystem will result in costs of degradation that will compromise medium and long term sustainable development.
This report provides a detailed assessment of the structures and processes encompassing key Malawi government institutions and civil society organisations in the area of development, environment and natural resource management. It identifies their roles, mandates and policies. Based on this assessment, the report provides pointers to the areas for potential Poverty‐Environment Initiative (PEI) support.
Cette note de synthèse reprend les conclusions principales du rapport du même nom. Elle présente les principaux résultats, soulignant nettement que la préservation et la bonne gestion des ressources naturelles est un facteur important de la croissance économique et de la lutte contre la pauvreté.
This primer provides guidance on presenting evidence about the economic, development, and poverty reduction benefits of the environment to public sector decision-makers, so as to justify and promote “environmental investment”.
