EECapacity also enhance the ability and quality in environmental education of higher education institutions, administrative authorities and civil society participation to develop more professional environment education activities.
Six counties implemented of this project are Miaoli, Taichung, Nantou, Changhua, Yunlin, Kinmen Counties. There are several goals to set up Central Regional Center for Environmental Education. To display the environmental characteristics and solve the environmental problems effectively, we have to integrate the resources and personnels of industry, government, academia, social education institutions, and NGO in the central region of Taiwan. We tutor the environmental education in schools and help the personnel certified. To enhance the environmental expertise of partner team members and volunteers, we offer environment (education) empowerment courses and workshops. Furthermore, we build the evaluation mechanisms of environmental education to impact assessment for short, medium and long-term environmental education.

We hope the environmental education of this area will become the highlight area in Taiwan. And we will be the intermediator between the central authority (EPA or Ministry of Environment and Natural Resources) and the environmental education institutions, environmental education field, government agencies, schools in the central region of Taiwan.
