DAC Working Party on Development Co-operation and Environment: Workshop Proceedings

Donor - Developing Country Scoping Workshop (Sunningdale, UK, 18-19 November 1998) - Detailed Report of the Workshop Proceedings

Note submitted by The Delegation of the United Kingdom
Agenda item 5, 19th Meeting Paris, 24-25 February 1999

This Detailed Report of the Sunningdale Scoping Workshop focuses on four key nssd themes: the characteristics of nssds, integrating sustainable development into economic, social and private sector planning, stakeholder participation, and capacity strengthening.  It complements the DAC’s official report of the workshop, which focuses on the main conclusions and proposals for further work. Together with the workshop papers, it is intended to act as a reference document for those involved in the Task Force’s work on nssds.

These papers have been prepared to assist in evaluating the extent to which nssd processes may already be taking place in a particular country, and whether an enabling environment and capacity exists to develop and implement an nssd process.
