U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Office of Enforcement and Compliance Assurance (OECA): Civil Enforcement - International Network for Environmental Compliance and Enforcement (INECE)

Cooperative Agreement with the Institute for Governance & Sustainable Development (IGSD) to provide the INECE Secretariat support.

INECE is a network of government and non-government enforcement and compliance practitioners from more than 150 countries.

EPA provides support to INECE for the development of effective enforcement programs in other countries to improve the rule of law and good governance internationally, in order to better control global pollution that can effect the U.S. and provide a level playing field for U.S. companies competing in world trade.

INECE's goals are to raise awareness of compliance and enforcement, develop networks for enforcement cooperation, and strengthen capacity to implement and enforce environmental requirements. For more information on INECE visit: www.inece.org.
