Strengthening institutional capacity to manage wetland resources in West Africa, interim report no. 2 (1 January - 31 August 1994)
1994

Past neglect of wetlands has meant that there is insufficient material available on policy guidance, planning techniques, or management methodologies for their conservation and sustainable use in different regions.
