DEVELOPMENT OF CP POLICY MODULE 5: POLICY TOOLS AND INSTRUMENTS The International Council for Local Environmental Initiatives The International Council for Local Environmental Initiatives (ICLEI) is an international environmental agency for local governments. ICLEI’s aim is to create a worldwide movement of local governments to achieve tangible improvements in global environmental and sustainable development through cumulative local actions. Through its campaigns, ICLEI helps local governments to generate political awareness of key issues, to build capacity through technical assistance and training, and to evaluate local and cumulative progress towards sustainable development. The organization provides policy guidance, training and technical assistance and consultancy services to increase local governments’ capacity. Currently, some 350 cities, towns, counties and their associations worldwide are members of ICLEI, with many more involved in specific projects. http://www.iclei.org/infoch.htm EXAMPLE LA21 Capacity Building for Latin American Cities ICLEI is coordinating the Local Agenda 21 Network for Latin America and the Caribbean, together with the German Gesellschaft für Technische Zusammenarbeit (GTZ). In 2001, activities took place in Chile, Colombia, Ecuador and Peru. The project focuses on building the capacity of municipal employees to apply Local Agenda 21 processes, the objective is to see these processes become part of regular municipal decision-making practices. For more information, check: http://www.iclei.org/redal21/capacidad/ International Union of Local Authorities Another active player in municipal and local projects is the International Union of Local Authorities (IULA). Among a variety of programmes related to decentralization and local governance, IULA has been involved in promoting partnerships for sustainable development, through its regional headquarters for Latin America and Central America. A partner organization is the Federation of Latin American Cities and Associations of Municipalities (FLACMA). http://www.iula.net/principal.asp Sustainable Cities Programme The Sustainable Cities Programme (SPC) is a joint initiative of the United Nations Centre for Human Settlements (UNCHS) and UNEP, for building capacities in urban environmental planning and management. The programme is founded on cross-sectoral and stakeholder participatory approaches. There are currently some 50 pilot projects around the world. The Sustainable Cities Programme has developed a number of tools to support urban environmental planning and management, including a focus on sharing environment-development information and expertise, improving environmental planning and management capacities and managing environmental resources and risks for achieving sustainable development. http://www.unchs.org/scp/home.htm PAGE 120
DEVELOPMENT OF CP POLICY MODULE 5: POLICY TOOLS AND INSTRUMENTS Local environmental best practice awards One effective way to convince local players to take action is to show examples of existing success stories. As a result, many competitions are held for local environmental “best practice” awards. Best practices are generally defined as initiatives that make an outstanding contribution to improving the quality of life in cities and communities. EXAMPLE Best practice award for Belo Horizonte, Brazil: Street scavengers as preferential partners in waste collection In 1998, the city of Belo Horizonte won the Local Initiatives Award for Excellence in Waste Management for its work with the Street Scavengers Association. The programme dramatically improved the social status of street scavengers by involving them in the planning and implementation of a comprehensive recycling and waste management programme for the town. Before the project started, the street scavengers were engaged in the informal collection of recyclable materials in the city, gathering their materials with manual carts, sorting it on the street and sleeping next to the recyclables. In 1993, Belo Horizonte’s municipal administration responded to demands from the scavengers for the right to work in the city and to have a proper place to sort their materials. The city established a selective handling and treatment system for solid wastes, working with the Street Scavengers Association as its partner. The new drop-off system required greater cooperation from the public as it became more engaged in the process of recycling waste. Several warehouses were established, eliminating the need for sorting on the streets. There are currently three sorting warehouses and 300 collection containers located throughout the city. From an initial membership of 31 scavengers in 1993, the cooperative grew to almost 250. In terms of quantity, collection has increased from 15 tons to 500 tons per month.
