AGOA-- Read about the African Growth and Opportunity Act, enacted by the Clinton Administration in October 2000, which "offers tangible incentives for African countries to continue their efforts to open their economies and build free markets."
UNEP--The
United Nations Environmental Program has sponsored a new website,
African Environmental Outlook (AEO). The website is an ambitious effort to combine resources of six environmental agencies concerned with Africa to provide a clear and broadly conceived view of Africa's current environmental issues. AEO is not a database providing in-depth statistics or detailed policy analysis, but is an on-line test document that offers a valuable overview for non-specialists. Those interested in the politics of environmental policies of Africa can use the document to learn more. It is divided into topic and regionally oriented sections.
