The authors of this book show how environmental management can be achieved and institutionalized from within Africa, rather than through interference from the West, by implementing National Environmental Action Plans (NEAPs). In the first part they trace the origins of NEAP and describe what a NEAP is and how it differs from other environmental planning efforts. While Part II analyses the NEAP processes, components and problems, Part III considers some of the first results of NEAPs and their impact on development. The final part IV explores future directions in environmental planning and management in Africa. It also considers the "Club of Dublin", now called the "Network for Environmentally Sustainable Development" (NESDA), which was formed to support the development of NEAPs. (DÜI-Hff)

To deal with the environmental crisis, 18 African countries have initiated, or are considering initiating, National Environmental Action Plans (NEAPs). This report details the NEAPs concept, analyses the current NEAPs, highlights the key issues and problems, and proposes solutions and future directions. It is targeted to African decision-makers and practitioners directly involved in NEAPs. It also aims to provide guidance to World Bank and other international agency staff supporting NEAPs in sub-Saharan Africa. (DÜI-Hff)
