Wide-ranging and indepth specialized knowledge is needed in order
to professionally evaluate the environmental relevance of a project or
individual technical plans in the scope of cooperation activities, for
example plans for locating industrial sites. The sixty environmental briefs
in Volumes I and II provide an overview of potential
environmental impacts and known environmental protection measures, they are a
working aid when preparing and reviewing a project's environmental aspects
and can be used during the planning phase, and also
for the final evaluation. The areas covered : cross-sectoral planning,
infrastructure, agriculture, mining and energy, trade and industry, are pertinent
to all cooperation activities and planning work. Volume III gives
an overview of the many environmental parameters and standards applicable
in different countries, and facilitates the evaluation of individual environmental
impacts. The handbook has been compiled in close cooperation with
the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Technische Zusammenarbeit (GTZ) and the Kreditanstalt
für Wiederaufbau (KfW).
