Project purpose
The project is to prepare and conduct a stakeholder workshop on measuring performance of environmental enforcement authorities in China, involving representatives of Chinese environmental enforcement authorities at the national, provincial and local levels and hosted by China’s Ministry of Environmental Protection. The workshop’s objectives are:
- To share with Chinese stakeholders the experience of the Netherlands and other OECD countries (based on the recent relevant OECD work) with the design and use of meaningful compliance and enforcement indicators;
- To highlight the existing good practices of performance measurement at the national, provincial and local levels in China; and
- To define the scope and priority outputs of a joint initiative to develop and test a set of quantitative indicators that would help China’s national and local environmental enforcement authorities to more adequately assess the effectiveness and efficiency of their efforts.

- A stakeholder workshop involving representatives of Chinese environmental enforcement authorities, the Dutch Ministry of Infrastructure and the Environment, the OECD, and possibly other players; and
