Title: Country-level environmental analysis - a review of international experience
Abstract: The Environment Strategy emphasizes the need to strengthen the analytical foundation of environmental work at the country level. Country Environmental Analysis (CEA) has been identified as one of the key environmental diagnostic tools for systematically evaluating the environmental priorities of development, and poverty reduction strategies in client countries, the environmental implications of key policies, and countries' institutional capacity, and performance to address their priorities. This report, together with other papers on various aspects of CEA, was prepared as part of the stocktaking exercise for developing guidance on CEA. For more than a decade, various international development organizations, including the Bank, nongovernmental organizations, and client countries, have developed country-level environmental analytic tools to provide inputs to development policies regarding sustainable development issues. This paper reviews international experience with such tools, in particular those prepared, and used by multilateral and bilateral donor organizations. The main purpose of this paper, is to review, and catalogue the key features of selected tools, and help guide the reader to databases, and organizations that provide further information. The paper illustrates the richness, and variety in tools available for undertaking country-level environmental analytic work.
