Capacity Development and Policy Needs for Environment Management Technology
Development in Africa

14:00-15:30, 29 May 2008
UNU-Institute of Advanced Studies, Pacifico-Yokohama 6F, Yokohama

Technology for environmental monitoring and management are pre-requisites
for appropriate environmental governance for sustainable development.
Improving local capacities to respond and meet these needs in a sustainable
manner through higher educational opportunities and policies fostering
development and application of such technologies are urgently needed.
Rapidly changing environmental conditions under population and development
pressures adds to the urgency of these needs.

African educational quality in the area of environmental technology and
management policy has been improved to some extent in some countries through
strong supportive educational policies assisted by international exposure
opportunities. This seminar will identify and examine challenges and
opportunities to harness and improve this potential toward developing
environmental technologies and management policy capacities in a sustained
manner in Africa. Innovative research and training opportunities,
Public-Private Partnership activities, supported by global knowledge,
expertise and goodwill should all come together to make best use of current
opportunities and synergies in making development sustainable in a vibrant
Africa.
