Philippine: Activities with UNDP

The country office of UNDP in the Philippines has assisted the Government of the Philippines in its efforts to integrate environment and socio-economic development policies. Through the Integrated Environmental Management for Sustainable Development (IEMSD) programme, various activities were conducted including:

1. Studies on market-based instruments for agriculture sector and for air and water pollution control;
2. Formulation of an operational framework on the integration of environmental and socio-economic development policies in the Philippines including institutional linkaging;
3. Formulation of an action impact matrix (AIM), a tool for identifying environmental effects of economy-wide reforms;
4. Greening of the economic internal rate of return in recognition of the need to incorporate environmental concerns in programmes/projects under evaluation by the investment coordinating council of NEDA; and
5. Conduct of a study on sustainable development indicators, to serve as basis for monitoring the implementation of sustainable development initiatives at the macro level, specifically the Philippine Agenda 21.
