Narrative

Full Description

Project narrative

On 14 December 2012, China’s Ministry of Environmental Protection (China MEP) and the United Nations Environment Program (UNEP) signed a framework agreement on strategic cooperation. This agreement involved China MEP committing $2 million annually to the China Trust Fund which focuses on environmental protection in African, ASEAN, and Central Asian countries. According to a 2017 Final Report from UNEP, $300,000 USD from the China Trust Fund was allocated to the Strengthening institutional capacity of African and Asian countries for the enforcement of environmental legislation through South-South Cooperation Project (T1-P6) (p. 61). This project took place in China as well as unspecified countries from Africa, ASEAN, and Central Asia. It began in April 2013 and ended in December 2014. The purpose of this project was to strengthen institutions and implement laws related to environmental protection.
