Welcome to USEPAM end-of-the-project site...
The website is primarily meant to convey information about USEPAM activities and outputs to interested parties. It also functions as a knowledgebase for various USEPAM partners and the students and teachers interested in accessing and using the information available.
The environmental sector in Cambodia, Lao PDR and Vietnam is currently facing a number of institutional barriers related to environmental planning and management, including:
- An insufficient supply of qualified human resources
- A shortage of methods and experience in environmental assessment and monitoring
- A need for further development of integrated approaches
- A lack of access to quality data and information in planning and management
The project addressed these issues by:
- Enhancing capacity of selected Universities in Cambodia, LaoPDR and Vietnam to provide multidisciplinary education and applied research in support of environmental planning and management.
- Enhancing capacity of selected Universities in Cambodia, Lao PDR and Vietnam to support Government Agencies in development of methods and frameworks for environmental assessment and monitoring.
- Improving cross-border exchange of knowledge on multidisciplinary environmental education, research and methods development in support of environmental planning and management.
