Monitoring, information, public participation and education

The first Environmental Performance Review (EPR) of Uzbekistan (2001) emphasized the need to reorganize and strengthen the monitoring network in the country, specifically in terms of the collection, processing and dissemination of data, so as to provide the necessary information for decision makers and the general public. In particular, it recommended that Uzbekistan improve its technical capacities for evaluating air pollution; establish a costeffective biodiversity monitoring system; develop centralized databases for groundwater; and train monitoring and data management experts. To ensure public participation in all aspects of environmental protection, the first EPR recommended that the State Committee for Nature Protection (SCNP) initiate cooperation with non-governmental organizations and increase public participation in protected area management.
