Summary
This report sets out the key findings of a study conducted between September 2000 and April 2001 to develop and pilot test a set of generic poverty–environment indicators for potential use in PRSPs. The indicators were developed through a review of environmental issues of relevance to the poor, particularly drawing on findings from participatory poverty assessments. The draft indicators were then pilot tested in three countries: Uganda, Nepal and Nicaragua. These countries were selected as they either have produced – or are in the process of producing – a PRSP, and because they represent different geographical regions and conditions.
