| Abstract | This strategic framework document describes how the Environmental Health Project (EHP) will respond to the extremely varied needs of USAID-assisted countries in the environmental arena. The framework is intended to define the strategies, boundaries, and approaches of EHP and to help missions and bureaus understand in detail what the project can offer them and how the "environmental health perspective" might be applied to the problems their countries face, often through coordination with programmes underway. The document begins with a chapter on the major environment-related global health problems that EHP hopes to address and the global socio-economic trends that impact on those problems. It also explains the role of environmental health in meeting USAID goals. The second chapter reviews the environmental health burden and current trends region by region and presents the general options for intervention. The third chapter outlines the strategies that EHP will employ in setting priorities for the use of its core funds and the norms and principles that guide EHP in working toward USAID's goal of sustainable development. The framework document has a five-year horizon, the length of the present contract. |
