To encourage and support the public sector, business and industry in the Region in the development and implementation of policies, strategies, technologies and practices that are environmentally sound, based on the integrated and partnership approach of sustainable development. This vision will be implemented within the strategic framework of both DTIE & DRC, as such:

1. Raise the awareness and strengthen the capacity of decision-makers to develop and implement policies, strategies and practices that promote sustainable consumption and production patterns, make efficient use of natural resources, ensure the sound management of chemicals and contribute to making economic, trade and environment policies mutually supportive;
2. Promote knowledge, technology and finance, focusing on the terms on which the public sector, business and industry in all countries get access to these, the application of environmental and more generally sustainability criteria in these, and the provision of appropriate assessments and tools for improved management of knowledge;
3. Support the development of appropriate information, communication, management and training tools, through partnerships with other international organizations, public authorities, business and industry, and non-governmental organizations to build capacity through training trainers and enabling small entrepreneurs, consumers and other civil society actors to make informed choices.
4. Promote the implementation of the outcome of the international environmental governance process in enhancing delivery of the capacity building initiatives of UNEP
