Program DAC/OECD*
The present

It started on
The aim of the
completed / implemented program was the creation of the necessary requirements for
a broad and systematic collaboration of the institutions which are concerned
with the environmental problems of Balkan countries.

content will be further analysed in the following
paragraphs – and secondly the creation of the “Centres
for Environmental Information; plural Esties” (we
shall call them Estia) in
The information
provided will gradually include all the topics concerning the environment and
at the same time the Estia will collect, distribute
and disseminate information.
In this way Esties will function as coordinating and intermediate
centers among the Non Governmental Ecological-Environmental Organisations
(NGO’s), private and public institutions and scientific research teams with
similar interests.
Each country’s data
base will be the mean of achieving or fulfilling a broader information and
dissemination of the programme’s results.
The creation of each
country’s database in unified structure was based in the former experience of
the Environmental Team of the
a.
