Brief Description: The first ever participatory plan was developed in Bangladesh in
1996 with the formulation of the National Environment Management Action
Plan (NEMAP), which is the major policy document used by the Government
for environmental activities in the country. It was developed over a
period of 5 years through organization of consultations at grassroots,
sub-national and national levels by the NGOs, who were the primary
actors in the exercise, funded by UNDP. SEMP, as the follow-up
implementation of NEMAP, addresses the major environmental priorities
identified by people through NEMAP. It is the first programme approach
initiative of the country office as well as the Government of
Bangladesh, consisting of 26 projects (components) being executed by the
Ministry of Environment and Forest and implemented by 21
government/non-government agencies throughout Bangladesh. Focus areas
relating to the environment are Policy and Institutions; Participatory
Eco-System Management; Community-based Environmental Sanitation;
Advocacy and Awareness; and Training and Education. SEMP will support
community capacities for sustainable management of environmental
resources and strengthen the capacity of the public sector to develop
new framework for policy development in support of enhanced community
participation, protection of the environment, and sustainable management
of the country’s environment and natural resources. SEMP will benefit
grassroots level people, particularly women, in eco-specific
intervention areas.
