UNEP is a committed partner in the region's environmental initiatives, taking a major role in converting the global programme and activities of UNEP to respond to the needs of the region. This includes the development of the biennial Programme of Work for the Regional Office for West Asia, linking the decisions of UNEP's Governing Council with the decision and needs identified by CAMRE, and in 2005 the development of the regional approach to the implementation of the Bali Strategic Plan for Technology Support and Capacity Building.
