      On the strength of its parliamentary, analytical and technical 
		co-operation work, the Division for Sustainable Development provides 
		targeted advisory services at the request of individual governments. 
		These services support specific policy initiatives and the requisite 
		institutional development and capacity-building. 
       
    Moreover, the Division formulates, implements and executes multidisciplinary 
	programmes and projects dealing with key aspects of sustainable development. 
	As countries take increasing responsibility for project execution, the 
	technical support is specifically designed to accelerate the formulation of 
	policies for sustainable development and provide substantive support for 
	their implementation at national and international levels.  
        The Division's technical expertise enables it to support developing 
		countries and countries with economies in transition in their 
		realization of sustainable development. Within the Division for 
		Sustainable Development, special expertise is available in a wide range 
		of issues in the fields of  
        
		Energy, Transport and Atmosphere, as well as
        Water 
		and Natural Resources. 
        Please see capacity building projects in  
		indicators of sustainable development
