Environmental Management Plan

1) Issues and problems on environment

2) Existing efforts to address environmental problems
3) Remaining gaps
4) Institutional capacity constraints to address environmental problems (budget,
manpower, facilities and equipment, technical competence, lack of data, etc.)
5) Proposed action plan to address environmental problems (the plan should have the
following inputs: objectives, policies and strategies, programs/projects, targets
including timetable, key implementers and partners, budget requirements, and
monitoring and evaluation indicators)
