MEIP achievements are based in institutions and action in its six cities with back up and guidance from its central office (established at the World Bank). MEIP is not a stand alone environmental project, but rather uses its relationships and activities with governments, communities, industries and organisations to catalyse action on the urban environment. The program simultaneous "top-down / bottom-up" framework for consultations, workshops and field activities yields a strong sense of local ownership of MEIP.

MEIP works in each metropolitan region and is guided by a steering committee composed mainly of representatives from central and local government agencies responsible for environmental quality, budgeting and finance, sector development, urban planning and land use.
