Environmental policy and administrative management

Changing of local spatial management plan due to implementation of renaturisation project and non-forest ecosystems usage was the main aim of this unique for GEF/SGP project.Here - "papers" were necesary to be produced; according to the law - any further investment cannot proceed without valid spatial plan approved by gmina, where all factors are considered and the main direction of spatial organisation are taken (roads, infrastructure, distribution of land use (eg. for construction of buildings, protectin areas, development of afforestration schemes etc etc.). It was a threat that all investment activities will be frosen for years until the spatial plan is prepared and approved.GEF/SGP acted here as "gfire-brigade", openng the gate for the Ecofund interventions as wel as GEF/SGP and the others.
