| Many environmental issues are already covered in
the strategies for agriculture and natural resources but the issue is
fundamental to poverty reduction and includes issues which go beyond the
strictly technical. |
Cross cutting strategic concerns include:
 | developing capabilities in environmental research and
management |
 | building the capacity of people who assist
communities in designing their development plans to include environmental
measures |
 | designing popular measures to prevent pollution and
other types of environmental destruction both on land and along the coast |
 | designing and implementing effective campaigns on
tree planting |
 | establishing programmes for monitoring the status of
the environment |
