3. Why Mainstream? Rio 1992, Lack of SD History of SAPs, PRSPs –short and medium term Need for long term Plans Environment Issues not incorporated in Plans Need to Mainstream SD, Incorporate Environment

4. Important issue of mainstreaming and integration Confusion of Mainstreaming and integration Mainstream interchange with integration Mainstream just incorporate environment Integration crucial but not easy Identify interlinkages among and across sectors in terms of policies and programs Address these

5.  Lack of Integration affects SD  Integration is addressing linkages  Examples  Policies  Forestry policies/projects deforestation agric lands rivers drying up reduced rainfall  Examples of interlinkages of Sectors  Need Sectoral Cooperation

6. Adaptation is about Sustainable Development Question of abandoning Agric and diversify into non-agric sectors is adaptation It is development since that is reason for non-development of Africa CC will derail SD of Economies Ensure SD of countries

7.  Start with participants  Work with relevant sectors, eg. water, agriculture, forestry and energy  Indentify linkages of policies/projects of one sector on another.  Easy to start with participants in this workshop  T21 Modeling for integration
