The United Nations Institute for Training and Research (UNITAR) continues expanding its initiative to develop capacities oriented to strengthen access to information and public participation in environmental decision-making.

During the period 2008 – 2010, UNITAR will provide support to three pilot countries in Africa to develop a National Profile, set priorities and develop an Action Plan to strengthen national capacities to implement Principle 10 of the Rio Declaration.
