Dutch bilateral assistance differentiates between two different sets of countries: countries which qualify for a structural development cooperation relationship and countries which qualify for assistance from one of the thematic programmes: good governance and human rights, environment and private sector. The Netherlands does not have a structural bilateral development cooperation programme in China, but China qualifies for assistance from each of the three thematic programmes. For Dutch bilateral development cooperation activities full authority has been delegated to the embassies. The embassy is responsible for the whole project cycle from identification, formulation, approval to implementation.
The environmental programme started in 1998 with the Forest Conservation and Community Development project in Yunnan. For 2001 an amount of NLG 15 million is available for environmental projects. The programme assists China with the implementation of the UN Convention on Biodiversity and the UN Convention on Climate Change. Support to wetlands activities is now under consideration. Activities in support of the implementation of the Climate Convention focus on CO2 mitigation through improving energy efficiency as well as stimulating the introduction of clean production technologies in small scale and medium enterprises. It includes activities directed at capacity building.
