Governance for Equitable Development (GED) Project (GED's CSO Component), sponsored by
the European Union (EU) and the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) from 2007 to
2012. The paper finds that GED's CSO Component has reached all the goals set down at the
beginning and accomplished principal outcomes the following areas: (1) research, knowledge
accumulation and sharing, and policy recommendations; (2) review of laws and regulations; (3)
pilot projects on CSO registration; (4) establishing a government/CSO association; and (5) training
for CSOs in a variety of different skills.
In addition to outlining the main patterns of the environmental-political dual transformation, this research also discusses possible reasons for the initial synergy between political liberalization and environmental movement to fade away and the challenges of environmental protection for both young democracies and authoritarian regimes.
