"Understanding Environmental Economics: Strategies for Policy Makers and Managers"

Prof. Robert N. Stavins, Faculty Chair

In today's world, economic arguments and analyses have become part and parcel of the environmental policy process. All too often, this trend puts both public and private sector officials responsible for policy development and implementation at a disadvantage. That's because, in many cases, they have at best, only a cursory understanding of economics.

In the course, Understanding Environmental Economics: Strategies for Policy Makers and Managers, at Harvard University's John F. Kennedy School of Government, you'll receive a solid, yet practical introduction to environmental economics and its applications.

Sanjeev Khagram, Assistant Prof. Public Policy, Kennedy School of Government and former Sr. Advisor to World Commission on Dams, Moderator

On November 25, 2002, the United States Agency for International Development and ChevronTexaco Corporation, the world's 3rd largest multinational oil company and sub-Saharan Africa's largest U.S.-based investor, announced a $20 million public-private alliance to provide support and training for enterprise development in Angola. The announcement follows the cessation of more than twenty years of civil war in Angola. This new enterprise development alliance seeks to assist in the transition to a peacetime economy that will provide opportunity for Angolans. The enterprise development alliance will be implemented in several Angolan povinces. USAID and ChevronTexaco will each commit up to $10 million over 5 years for a total of $20 million to develop private sector-based agricultural initiatives, including agricultural marketing, seed multiplication, crop diversification, input distribution through technology transfer, and support to private sector farmer associations. They will also expand finance and business development services to small and medium enterprises; offer professional training and educational programs for small and medium enterprises in the agriculture sector in areas such as finance, business planning, product development and marketing to help expand and improve the commercial viability of smalll and medium enterprise products; provide short-term vocational training and educational programs for small and medium enterprises in the design and development of infrastructure to restart agriculture and basic services in the countryside.
