Survey finding of Government Institutions Effort in Water, Energy, and Environment Final Report  

The Survey of Government Institutions in Water, Energy and Environment includes a review of government agencies‘ current and past communication activities in water, energy and environment (mainly solid waste management). The analysis is based on open-ended interviews conducted with a targeted sample of 36 staff from 22 government institutions, including public utilities. Discussions focused on the following main areas: priority issues and behavior changes needed in water, energy and environment; existing structure and potential of institutions to design and conduct communication programs; capacity building needs; opportunities and limitations for building partnership with the Public Action Project. This study will assist the Public Action for Water, Energy and the Environment Project (PAP) team to design and implement communication strategies and specific behavior change campaigns by building on lessons learned from previous outreach efforts. In designing and testing the survey guide, the consultant reviewed the Donor Position Paper on Outreach and attended the PAP Kickoff Workshop.
