Lessons learned on mainstreaming pilot projects into larger projects
This report provides lessons learned on mainstreaming the implementation of Environmentally Sound Technology (EST) pilot projects. Section 4 on disaster management specifically addresses environmental management as a critical issue in order to prevent disasters and reduce the risks/vulnerabilities of disaster-prone countries and communities. It is intended at decision makers in national governments and international technical cooperation personnel.
Conducted by the International Environmental Technology Centre of UNEP Division of Technology, Industry and Economics (UNEP-DTIE-IETC), the featured projects implemented in three focal areas: (i) Support for Environmental Management of the Iraqi Marshlands project in the water-sanitation pillar; (ii) Integrated Solid Waste Management project in China, India and Lesotho under the waste management pillar; and (iii) ESTs for Building waste Reduction in Indonesia (DEBRI) project under the disaster management pillar. Each project and cross-cutting lessons learned focus on six areas, which are: project management structure, governance, capacity building, EST implementation, financing, and local conditions/infrastructure.
