Information Packaging and Dissemination
AEIN recognises three broad levels of decision-making at which information need to be targeted: the strategic (policy-makers), mid-level (managerial), and operational (first-line "actors") levels. These "actors" require different degrees of detail of information (content), analysis and interpretation (context and relevance), and time frame (currency). The matrix below indicates the variety of information products and services that will be provided by AEIN for the various users at the different levels.

In addition to the targeted information products and services generic products, generated within consistent, harmonised and systematic assessment and reporting frameworks, will also be generated for the broader public. National environmental information centres will be strengthened with the view to improving public access to environmental information. Mechanisms for making information available over the internet, as well as the provision of information access points at the community level using "tele-centre" outlets, will be implemented.

Capacity building will address the development and packaging of information products meeting requirements various "actors" to support the various levels of decision making.
