USAID Environmental and Natural Resource Management Framework

The framework aims to ensure that USAID's investments in all sectors consider environmental implications and promote sustainable development. It highlights the importance of sound management of natural resources and urban systems for self-reliance, economic growth, and human well-being. The framework identifies two priority areas: improving natural resource management for self-reliance and improving urban systems for a cleaner environment and enhanced human well-being. It also outlines key actions for USAID to take to put the framework into action, including enhancing leadership and support structures, developing new guidance for missions, and leveraging partnerships to address environmental and natural resource management challenges.
