| Project Rationale and Linkage to Country/Regional Strategy | Combating illegal wildlife trade involves the full range of interdisciplinary law enforcement or the "enforcement chain". It requires no less than coordination between many ministries, including the judiciary, prosecutors, economists, law-makers, lawyers, police, trade and customs officials, as well as environmental, wildlife, and marine agencies to uphold the rule of law. Anti-corruption and integrity through this full enforcement chaim is key. In doing so, the enforcement process needs to be transparent, and capacity amongst ministries and agencies needs to be built both individually, and in terms of their ability to work together. ADB's Long-Terms Strategic Framework 2008-2020 (Strategy 2020) calls for ADB to strengthen environmental regulatory frameworks and enforcement capacities of public institutions, recognizing good governance and capacity development as drivers of change to improve regional public goods such as environmental quality, and promote regional cooperation. ADB's environment Operational Directions (2013-2020) further defines ADB's strategic priorities for the environment, by setting out ADB's strategy for operational work on the environment until 2020. It has identified each of (i) environmental governance, and (ii) "natural capital" as two of ADB's four mutually supportive operational directions needed to promote the transition to green growth. ADB's response to its strategic priorities and the increasing needs to address environmental challenges vary from support in the establishment of new laws, training members of the legal profession, support public participation in environmental governance, partnering with various regional and international organizations, and networking with partners and civil society. |
