N2  - This guidance manual was developed to support the use of  integrated assessment as an instrument for mainstreaming sustainability into policymaking processes and to facilitate integrated policymaking for sustainable development. It draws on international experiences and highlights the connections between proposed policies and desired results such as job creation, income generation, trade promotion, environmental sustainability and poverty reduction. The "building-block" approach presented in this manual provides a powerful tool to make assessment less procedural and more flexible, tailored to different assessment contexts and policy processes.--Publisher's description
