Abstract
This report is the product of a
comprehensive study on Benin. It highlights the country s
geographical and economic situation and concentrates in
particular on environmental conditions and the challenges
facing Benin. This report covers the financing of priority
environmental activities, as well as allocations to programs
designed to improve the environment and living conditions of
the population. The environmental analysis of Benin seeks to
help the Government integrate the environment into policy
formulation by analyzing cross-cutting aspects and the
challenges of implementing sound environmental management,
and creating a platform for strengthening the country s
capacities in order to facilitate sustainable natural
resource and environmental management. To this end, a number
of measures have been recommended, among them the
establishment of effective policies and institutions based
on sound governance and improved effectiveness, and the
mobilization of financing for environmental protection and
natural resource management. The study includes the analysis
of a case study on three cities: Porto-Novo, Cotonou, and
Parakou, and examines the impact of environmental problems
and environmental management challenges on these cities.
