Western Balkans Environment Programe

Data base of Practitioners is developed within the Western Balkans Environmental Programme (WBEP) with the main aims to:

1. provide access to the roster of practitioners, i.e. individuals and organizations/institutions who are directly or indirectly related to remediation of environmental hot spots from all participating countries/territories;
2. to enable the practitioners to offer their services;
3. to promote free access to information. 

The database is designed to reflect a consistent, strong Programme - wide identity, while embracing the individual character and goals of each Programme segment.

Within this data base the term "Practitioner" represents both individuals and legal entities from all participating countries/territories relevant for the Programme scope of work and the main Programme objectives. 

DataBase is divided into three segments:

1. Western Balkans Practitioners
2. Practitioners  from Other Regions
3. Are you a Practitioner?
