Overview :
  • B7-6200 - 'Environment in developing countries'
    formerly
  • B7-5040 - 'Environment in developing countries' 1992-
  • EN946 - 'Ecology in developing countries'
Managed by DG Development (formerly jointly managed by DGIB and DGVIII).

The EN946 (Ecology) budget line became B7-5040 (Environment in Developing Countries) in 1992. Until the creation of the dedicated Tropical Forestry budget line (B7-5041/6201), EN946 was a significant source of funding for tropical forestry projects. The 946 budget line was co-managed by DG VIII, DG I and DG XI. Since the creation of the Tropical Forestry budget line, it has funded fewer mainstream forestry projects, and focused increasingly on allied topics such as biodiversity.
