The document discusses policy coherence for sustainable development (PCSD) as defined by the OECD. PCSD aims to foster synergies across economic, social, and environmental policies; identify trade-offs between domestic policy objectives and international agreements; and address negative spillovers from domestic policies. The OECD's analytical framework for PCSD includes 8 building blocks: political commitment, policy integration, long-term planning, policy effects assessment, policy coordination, subnational involvement, stakeholder engagement, and monitoring and reporting. The document also provides an example of a donor project table for Cambodia listing organizations addressing marine plastic pollution in the country.
