For each program, we offer some general comments about the donor country’s approach, focus, or priorities, and then give brief descriptions of specific projects or project areas. This discussion is by no means comprehensive, it simply provides further information on some interesting approaches to bilateral aid for sound chemicals management. Norway aims both to help strengthen environmental management systems and to improve environmental conditions in partner countries. Norway has designated seven centers for environmental assistance, these centers provide expertise to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Norwegian Agency for Development Co-operation (NORAD), and collaborate with counterpart institutions in partner countries. The majority of the programs work with national level agencies to build capacity for regulating and controlling pollution.
