The objective is to develop Angolan planning for national reconstruction through improved capacity for data collection and assembly, use of GIS and monitoring of key indicators; and development of environmental health assessment tools. Presented To: International Development Research Centre (IDRC). DW proposes a two phase project on environmental risk assessment. The first, for which IDRC assistance is requested, is a phase of developing tools, training a national team, building a data-base and selecting key indicators. The second is a phase of building national institutional capacity for ongoing monitoring of the key environmental indicators. The detailed design of the second phase of the programme will be built from the experience of the first.
DW proposes to employ environmental mapping tools together with qualitative and quantitative information gathering techniques to produce a graphic / geographic base line environmental assessment. Existing data, statistics and demographic information will transformed into graphic format which can be projected onto spatial maps of the project region. Project teams, trained in qualitative research will provide supplementary community information.
