Environmental governance and international development

From the beginning of 2008, European partner organizations of The Access Initiative (TAI) such as SEIT from Estonia, REC form Latvia, ECAT from Lithuania, IGO from Poland and EMLA from Hungary work together in a new project with colleagues from PILF from Sri Lanka, TEI from Thailand, LEAT from Tanzania, ACODE from Uganda and VACNE from Vietnam. The project is supported by expertise from HAND Alliance from Hungary.

The topic of the research is new for the members of TAI network, since NGOs involved in environmental governance and the implementation of environmental democracy so far analyze a related but distinct topic: conditionality in international development decision-making.
