This manual is the result of several studies undertaken by the Middle East and North Africa Department. The work focused on estimating the monetary value of environmental degradation in eight countries in the region. The manual was used to deliver training courses in Cairo (2002), Beirut (2003) and Marrakech (2004). The decision to translate the manual into Arabic was taken to help compensate for the relative lack of environmental economics literature in that language. It is hoped that this manual will contribute to build capacity in environmental valuation.

This report would not have been possible without the financial support of the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation through a grant to the Mediterranean Environmental Technical Assistance Program.
