General Information
The Romanian Country Office was among the firstly established REC offices in the Region. Since the early beginnings of Romania’s transition to democracy, the grants schemes, the support for networking and training programs managed by REC Romania, ensured the emergence and growth of a genuine, diverse and active community of environmental NGOs. This NGO support mandate continues to be high on the priorities list of the Country Office, bearing in mind that Romanian government should engage in an open dialogue with the environmental civil society, on matters related to the EU Accession. Strategic partnerships have also been constantly created since 2000, with the Ministry of Environment and Waters Management, and its network of Regional and Local Environmental Agencies, who have benefited from the growing expertise of the Office in Climate Change, Waste Management, Public Participation in Water Management and Environmental investment planning - all these topic areas are of high importance for achieving conformity with EU Acquis. Not of least importance, the technical assistance provided to local authorities in the form of LEAPs, as cooperative planning mechanisms to promote sustainability and the know-how transferred to the business sector, in areas of: Environmental Management Systems, Energy Efficiency have improved the REC profile among these stakeholders, while in the same time, enabled REC to better understand the challenges and needs on the ground, arising from the implementation of different EU Directives and Multilateral Environmental Agreements.
Mission and Objectives

Assist Romanian authorities and key stakeholders to develop and implement environmental strategies, programs and actions geared towards sustainability.

Main Projects / Activities
