Understanding the guiding role of central institutions in planning Strengthening Capacity Building in Environment SPAIAL ENVIRONMENAL PLANNING IN EUROPE Many developing countries are faced with environmental degradation caused by population pressure and uncontrolled, environmentally incompatible development. Management of the land and land based natural resources on a sustainable, ecologically compatible basis is still in its infancy. It is unquestioned that establishing and strengthening of the institutional capacities capable of performing these tasks will be essential to achieve the objectives of Agenda 21. Human resource development is a vital component in establishing and strengthening the institutional capacities in environmental management. Learning from experience of countries with a well established, effectively functioning planning system will help developing countries to strengthen their planning institutions. his learning process has to be demand orientated. It must be designed to meet the practical need of participants from institutions entrusted with specific tasks in environmental management. his requires training measures which have to be individually tailored according to the specific need of the participants. raining-cum-visit 10 3

4 Human Resource Development Strengthening Professional and Institutional Capacities o meet this demand CDG, in close co-operation with the Ministry of Environment and Forests / World Bank has developed a new type of training with the basic objective to enable administration officials in charge of environmental management to successfully strengthen their professional and institutional capacities. Course Contents Planning Levels Local (Municipal) planning level organisation Regional planning level organisation State planning level organisation Federal planning level organisation Administrative Structure he name of the training "raining-cum-visit" reflects its conceptual approach of a "mobile classroom". he trainees are intergrated into different, mutually supportive learning environments. Introductory key lectures, technical discourses, group work and discussions help to prepare visits of environmental management institutions and the interactions with their key representatives. Frequent field trips visualise the effectiveness of environmental an countries. he experience from this kind of training is used to draw conclusions on ways and means to strengthen environmental management capacities in the home countries of the participants. Co-operation arrangements with European partner institutions are initiated to ensure that the training measure is sustained. A transfer from the established planning systems to other countries is neither intended nor suggested. It is obvious that establishment and strengthening of environmental management is a countryspecific process which depends on the specific historic, socio-economic and administrative conditions. here are, however, certain institutional functions and tasks as well as planning instruments which are independent of a socio-economic or administrative background of an individual country. For instance, water protection areas are needed in India as well as in Europe. he trainees learn to identify and analyse those fundamental functions and instruments and to organise application in their respective institutions.

5 Point of entry is the local level where any project will be finally implemented and where plans of all planning levels are finally reaching a legally binding form. From the local level and based on the case study the higher planning levels (regional, state and national level) are studied. Step 1 Orientation and introduction he role of visited institutions Lectures, group discussions, identification of key questions he reality of many densely populated development countries is still determined by uncontrolled and haphazard development. he consequences are severe: Cities are characterised by water and air pollution, lack of recreational areas, traffic congestion, land use conflicts between industry and residential areas or seasonal flooding of sites which have been developed despite their unsuitability. In rural areas uncontrolled development may lead to soil erosion, water shortages or deforestation. Without rational, planned, ecologically compatible and sustainable use of land and land based natural resources the objectives of the Agenda 21 are out of reach. Uncontrolled Development An Obstacle to Sustainable Development Step 4 Workshop, Groupwork Conclusions from experience Appropriate transfer to home conditions Federal level European level State level Regional level Local level Step 2 Visit of key institutions Interaction with key representatives Understanding of planning work Understanding operational management Exchange of experience P revention plays the decisive role in managing sustainable development. Resource degradation and environmental pollution can be prevented by early incorporation of environmental considerations into planning and decision-making. Achieving the objectives of the Agenda 21 requires that the traditional environmental policies of pollution control and environmental protection have to be supplemented by preventive resource management, in particular land management. Establishing and strengthening the needed institutional structures is therefore one of the most important environmental tasks of the next decade. In many countries institutional structures are virtually non-existent. Incorporation of the experience from countries with an effectively working institutional structure will help to support this process. he Solution Preventive Environmental Management Step 3 Field trips Observing the effectiveness of planning raining of observation skills E uropean countries have a fully developed administrative set-ups in co-ordinating as well as sectoral planning at all planning levels from the national down to the local level. During the he raining Approach Learning from the Experience of Environmental Management in Europe 8 5

6 arget Groups the last four decades comprehensive legislation, regulations as well as suitable planning instruments have been developed. heir successful implementation shows that rational, environmentally compatible use of limited natural resources can be managed. Despite high demand for land and land based natural resources, most economic, social and environmental needs for sites can be met. Large parts of the area are covered by forest, water protection zones are effective, erosion prone land is under control, overcrowding and congestion are virtually unknown, urban growth is controlled and sufficient land for future human settlement development including industrial expansion is available. he results of spatial planning are visible and are a characteristic of landscapes in the visited countries. Using European experience without simply copying it but drawing the appropriate conclusions are the basis for the presented training measure. he "raining-cum-visit" strengthens managerial capabilities needed to perform professional tasks in environmental management. he target group consists of the middle management and of technical officials in charge of initiating, organising and conducting environmental planning tasks. In particular the training is suitable for: he general qualifications acquired by the trainees include awareness building regarding the need for and use of preventive environmental management, knowledge about the institutional and instrumental prerequisites and instruments and acquisition of needed skills in organising this process. Specific qualifications include: > Knowledge of institutional set up, functions and tasks of a horizontally and vertically structured planning administration; > Knowledge of the different planning instruments and their use; > Awareness and knowledge of the needed infrastructure and equipment for effective work in environmental planning and management; > Capability to draw conclusions from the knowledge of the experienced planning systems and to transfer them into capacity building measures for their own institutions; Acquisition of management skills for organising the multidisciplinary teamwork characteristic for environmental planning (information management; co-ordination; group work organisation; moderation and presentation techniques etc.) Qualifications and Competence Acquired in the raining-cum-visit > Officials from the higher administration (Ministries etc.) in charge of developing legislation, regulation, programme development etc; > Officials and team leaders from planning institutions (environmental administration; planning administration etc.) in charge of planning and executing and co-ordinating of environmental management programmes and plans; > Managing officials from environmental training institutions. A horizontally and vertically differentiated system of environmental management is complex in nature. In order to facilitate understanding of such a system its functioning is demonstrated for a representative case study. he case study provides an easy understandable way to highlight the functions and tasks of different planning levels and institutions and demonstrates how environmental objectives are taken care of.
