The social cost of environmental degradation is already quite significant, and will continue to increase if policies, institutional, and investment measures are not provided. The NEAP-SD serves as a vehicle for building bridges with non-governmental organizations, and donors, and enhance the prospects for improved coordination, as well as helping inform the ongoing process of Country Assistance Strategy (CAS). Recommendations suggest the use of high impact strategic lending, with contributions supporting water and wastewater, urban, and rural development, including natural resource management, incorporating environmental objectives, but focused on fundamental challenges that address public sector efficiency and governance, private sector development, and water management, through partnerships focused on flexible responsiveness, in an approach to integrate the environment into the Bank's instruments, building capacity, and strengthening environmental, and institutional assistance.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOABATEMENTADAPTATIONAIRAIR POLLUTIONAIR QUALITYAIR QUALITY MANAGEMENTBIODIVERSITY CONSERVATIONBIOLOGICAL DIVERSITYCHEMICAL INPUTSCLEAN FUELSCLIMATECOASTAL AREASCOASTAL RESOURCESCOASTAL ZONE MANAGEMENTCOMMUNITY PARTICIPATIONCONSERVATIONCONVENTIONAL TILLAGEDEFORESTATIONDEREGULATIONDISASTERSECONOMIC ANALYSISECONOMIC DEVELOPMENTECONOMIC GROWTHECONOMIC IMPACTEFFICIENT USEELECTRICITYEMISSIONSEMPLOYMENTENVIRONMENTAL ACTIONENVIRONMENTAL ACTION PLANENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENTENVIRONMENTAL BENEFITSENVIRONMENTAL CAPACITYENVIRONMENTAL DAMAGESENVIRONMENTAL DEGRADATIONENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDSENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENTENVIRONMENTAL INFORMATIONENVIRONMENTAL ISSUESENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENTENVIRONMENTAL PERFORMANCEENVIRONMENTAL POLICIESENVIRONMENTAL PROBLEMSENVIRONMENTAL QUALITYENVIRONMENTAL RESOURCESEXCHANGE RATEEXERCISESEXPENDITURESEXTERNALITIESFINANCIAL RESOURCESFISHERIESFOREST MANAGEMENTFUELSGASESGLOBAL ENVIRONMENTGNPGROUNDWATERHAZARDOUS WASTEHAZARDOUS WASTE MANAGEMENTHUMAN HEALTHILLITERACYIMPROVED LAND MANAGEMENTINCENTIVE SYSTEMSINCINERATIONINCOMEINDUSTRIAL POLLUTIONINDUSTRIAL SOURCESINFORMATION DISSEMINATIONIRRIGATION SYSTEMSLAND DEGRADATIONLAND TENURELAND USELAND USE PLANNINGLAWSLEGISLATIONLIFE EXPECTANCYLIVESTOCK PRODUCTIONMIGRATIONMORTALITYNATURAL CAPITALNATURAL DISASTERSNATURAL GASNATURAL RESOURCE MANAGEMENTNATURAL RESOURCESNON-GOVERNMENTAL ORGANIZATIONSOILOIL PRICESOZONEPARTNERSHIPPOLICY DECISIONSPOLICY ENVIRONMENTPOLITICAL ECONOMYPOLLUTIONPOLLUTION ABATEMENTPOLLUTION CONTROLPOLLUTION PREVENTIONPOPULATION GROWTHPRIVATE SECTORPRODUCERSPRODUCTIVITYPROTECTED AREASPUBLIC GOODSPUBLIC HEALTHPUBLIC SECTORQUALITY OF LIFERAINFALLRANGELANDSRECYCLINGRESOURCE USESERVICE DELIVERYSEVERE ENVIRONMENTAL DEGRADATIONSOIL CONSERVATIONSOIL MOISTURESOLID WASTESOLID WASTE MANAGEMENTSUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENTUNEMPLOYMENTURBAN AREASUTILITIESVARIABLE RAINFALLWASTEWASTEWATERWATER CONSERVATIONWATER QUALITYWATER SUPPLYWATERSHEDWELFARE LOSSWILLINGNESS TO PAY ENVIRONMENTAL ACTION PLANSSECTORAL ASSESSMENTSUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENTENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENTPOLICY ANALYSISINSTITUTIONAL FRAMEWORKCONSENSUS APPROACHENVIRONMENTAL ECONOMICSECONOMIC MANAGEMENTSECTORAL POLICYENVIRONMENTAL DEGRADATIONSOCIAL COSTSINVESTMENTSNONGOVERNMENTAL ORGANIZATIONSDONOR COORDINATIONCOUNTRY ASSISTANCE STRATEGYWATER SUPPLY & SANITATIONWASTEWATER TREATMENTURBAN DEVELOPMENTRURAL DEVELOPMENTNATURAL RESOURCE MANAGEMENTPUBLIC SECTOR MANAGEMENTGOVERNANCE CAPACITYPRIVATE SECTOR DEVELOPMENTWATER MANAGEMENTPARTNERSHIPSCAPACITY BUILDINGCLEAN WATER AND SANITATIONSDG 6AFFORDABLE AND CLEAN ENERGYSDG 7LIFE UNDER WATERSDG 14LIFE ON LANDSDG 15World Bank10.1596/15364
