Important is enablement, participation, partnerships, dialogue, policy development and plans of action. NGOs are in ideal position to inform decision-makers of the priorities that should guide policy formulation and the use of technologies available to implement them. NGOs are at the leading edge of the application of managerial know-how, product development and service delivery and should exploit these advantages to increase their impact for improving ecological situation. NGOs engage in continuous policy dialogue with governmental officials at all levels to identify issues of common concern and develop joint strategies for addressing such concerns. NGOs play an active role in formulating plans of action; identify areas of priority; provide management expertise and know-how; tools and technologies for improving situation in the environment; etc.
