Strengthening Institutional Capacities for Coordinating Multi-sectoral Environmental Policies & Programmes in Belize - Project Document (2005)

The proposed Multi-Sectoral Programme in Belize will strengthen the government’s institutional capacities to coordinate the multitude of environmental policies to reduce the overlap of efforts and maximize efficiencies of existing governmental units. In particular, the proposed MSP would develop an improved environmental policy coordination structure/mechanism that institutionalizes a cross-cutting review of environmental policy in such a way that synergies and efficiencies are maximized to conserve biodiversity, adapt to and mitigate impacts of climate change, and reduce land degradation.
