This law directs Treasury to push multilateral development banks to work more with environmental nongovernmental organizations. Banks should support local environmental groups and encourage information-sharing between them and similar groups in developed countries.
The Treasury Secretary must instruct the U.S. representatives at multilateral development banks* to strongly promote adopting policies that: (1) increase collaboration with — and, where needed, strengthen — nongovernmental organizations in borrowing countries that focus on environmental protection, by giving them appropriate assistance and support for their programs and activities; and (2) encourage international collaboration on information-sharing and project improvement between nongovernmental organizations in developing countries focused on the environment and government agencies and private voluntary organizations in developed countries also focused on the environment.
The Secretary of the Treasury shall instruct the United States Executive Directors of the multilateral development banks* to vigorously promote the adoption of policies and procedures which seek to—
increase collaboration with, and, where necessary, strengthen, nongovernmental organizations in such countries which are concerned with environmental protection by providing appropriate assistance and support for programs and activities on environmental protection; and
encourage international collaboration for information exchange and project enhancement with nongovernmental organizations in developing countries which are concerned with environmental protection and government agencies and private voluntary organizations in developed countries which are concerned with environmental protection.
