Abstract
Ukraine was the most environmentally degraded of the former USSR republics. Six components to the Environmental Management Development in Ukraine (EMDU) program which continued 1994-2001 are: Water pollution control; Water toxicology; Information systems development; Pilot projects ranging from drinking water treatment technology to groundwater protection and shoreline rehabilitation; Environmental audits and entrepreneurship including both large and small industries; Public outreach and raising public awareness of environmental issues. An effect and a legacy of the projects funded through the IDRC program is the revival of institutions that were failing due to lack of government support.
