PEI recognizes that a central goal of mainstreaming is to improve poverty-environment outcomes at the local level—that is, to improve the livelihoods, health, security and empowerment of people living in poverty through sound and equitable environmental management. This Primer onEnabling Local Success takes as its premise that local actors are the key drivers of change at the local level, and the success of poverty-environment mainstreaming efforts will be determined to a significant extent by their effectiveness in empowering local organizations tobuild and spread local solutions to poverty and environment challenges.
