Although +their operational policies and requirements vary in certain respects, +the development banks follow a relatively standard procedure for the +preparation and approval of an EIA report. This procedure generally +follows the stages outlined in the flow chart shown on the verso of the +topic divider. Borrowing countries are responsible for the preparation +of the EIA, and this requirement possibly more than any other has +influenced the introduction and development of EIA in many developing +countries. +</p> +<p>The EIA policies and arrangements of the development banks remain +important, especially in countries that have weak or non-existent +domestic arrangements. Recently, the World Bank has made a number of +changes to make the application of its EIA procedure more systematic, +notably through its linkage to new environmental and social safeguard +policies. In addition, the Bank’s broader environmental policy has +moved from a ‘do no harm’ approach to minimise the adverse effects +of its projects to the use of SEA as part of a strategy of promoting +long-term sustainability and integrating environment into sector +programmes and macro policies (see table below). +</p> +<table> +<caption><b>The World Bank environmental agenda</b></caption> +<thead> +<tr><th style="width: 25%;"><b>Policy</b> + </th> +<th style="width: 75%; background-color: rgb(184, 193, 212);"><b>Aims</b> + </th> +</tr></thead> +<tfoot> +<tr><td colspan="2"><i>Source: World Bank (1999: 8-10) </i> + </td> +</tr></tfoot> +<tbody> +<tr> +<td>Do-No-Harm + </td> +<td>To mitigate the potential adverse effects of the Bank’s investment + projects on the environment and vulnerable populations, EIA procedures +and safeguard policies are applied. In many cases, these have +contributed to better project design and environmental management plans +have helped to improve project implementation. + </td> +</tr> +<tr> +<td>Targeted Environmental Assistance + </td> +<td>To foster long-term environmental sustainability and improve +conditions in developing countries, designated Bank projects target the +following areas: sustainable natural resource management, including +watershed protection and biodiversity conservation; pollution management + and urban environmental improvements; environmental institution and +capacity building, and global environmental actions, in accordance with +international environmental conventions and commitments. + </td> +</tr> +<tr> +<td>‘Mainstreaming’ the Environment at the Level of Policy and Programmes + </td> +<td>To integrate environmental concerns at the macro level, the Bank has + reviewed the policies of the energy, rural development and other +sectors, established an environmental framework for its country +assistance strategies and intends to make greater use of SEA at the +programme and regional level. + </td> +</tr> +</tbody> +</table> +<p>Many countries provide various types of guidance on how to apply +their EIA procedure. Where the guidance is official, it is usually +prepared by the overseeing authority to ensure compliance with EIA +requirements. This material is aimed primarily at the proponent, +government agencies and others with designated responsibility for +implementation of EIA arrangements. In certain countries, procedural +guidance is oriented more toward promoting EIA good practice for key +stages and activities of the process, such as screening and scoping. +</p> +<p>When procedural guidance is not available, it may be developed by +reference to guidelines prepared by other countries or international +agencies. There are many examples on which to draw. A useful starting +point is the <i>IIED Directory of Impact Assessment Guidelines</i> (see +references). It contains numerous entries organised by country, sector +and agency, and includes guidelines issued by development banks, +bilateral-donor, inter-governmental and UN organisations. (More +specialised guidance on appropriate EIA methodology, and applications to + particular types of projects and areas can be found in the World +Bank’s <i>Environmental Assessment Sourcebook</i>). +</p> +<p>In many jurisdictions, more than one set of EIA procedures may apply +to a proposal. The lack of coherence between the EIA requirements of +various governments or agencies can lead to uncertainty, confusion and +added expense for proponents. Problems commonly occur when: +</p> +<ul> +<li>countries receive aid from a number of donors, each having its own prescribed assessment process; or + </li> +<li>a proposal is transboundary in nature, requiring compliance with EIA + procedures in two or more countries, states or levels of government +(see <a title="Espoo Convention - EIA Wiki" target="_blank" href="http://eia.unu.edu/wiki/index.php/Espoo_Convention">Espoo Convention</a> in the EIA Wiki). + </li> +</ul> +<p>The problems of coherence of EIA for international bilateral aid were + addressed by the Working Party of the Development Assistance Committee +of the OECD. A practical guide on this subject was prepared to aid both +officials in bilateral donor agencies and their counterparts in +developing countries. It summarises the various EIA procedures used by +the different agencies and provides two key means of promoting +coherence: +</p> +<ul> +<li>a framework Terms of Reference for the EIA of development assistance projects; and + </li> +<li>a comprehensive checklist for managing EIA.<br> + + </li> +</ul> +<p>Experience in many countries indicates that the foundations of an +effective EIA system are established by the following arrangements: +</p> +<ul> +<li>explicit basis in law and regulation; + </li> +<li>clear statement of objective(s) and requirement(s); + </li> +<li>mandatory compliance and enforcement; + </li> +<li>comprehensive scope of application to proposals with potentially significant impacts; + </li> +<li>prescribed process of steps and activities; + </li> +<li>provision for public consultation and access to information; and + </li> +<li>linkage to project authorisation, permitting and condition setting. + </li> +</ul> +<p>In terms of legal provision, aspects of specific importance include: +</p> +<ul> +<li>broad definition of the environment and ‘effects’; + </li> +<li>duty to avoid, mitigate or remedy adverse effects arising from an activity; + </li> +<li>requirement for an EIA report to specify mitigation measures the proponent intends to apply; + </li> +<li>procedural guidance on compliance and good practice in applying EIA arrangements; and + </li> +<li>giving reasons for decisions on proposals subject to EIA. + </li> +</ul> +<p>These components can be used to evaluate how current EIA systems +measure up against accepted standards for law, policy and institutional +arrangements. Where these pre-requisites are in place, they do not +guarantee, in themselves, good EIA practice and effective performance. +Other factors may intervene. However, where the basic arrangements are +inadequate, then the EIA process is very unlikely to lead in the +direction of good outcomes. +</p> +<p>In developing countries experience has shown a number of underlying +conditions will determine whether and how an EIA system is instituted. +These are interrelated and reinforcing, and include: +</p> +<ul> +<li>a functional legal regime; + </li> +<li>sound administration and flexible policy-making; + </li> +<li>stakeholder understanding of the aims of the process and its potential benefits; + </li> +<li>political commitment; + </li> +<li>institutional capacity for implementation; + </li> +<li>adequate technical capacity, data and information; + </li> +<li>public involvement; and + </li> +<li>financial capacity. + </li> +</ul> +<p></p> + </div> + <div class="storycontent"> + </div> + <div class="meta">July 26, 2006 <a href="http://eia.unu.edu/course/?cat=1" title="View all posts in Uncategorized" rel="category">Uncategorized</a> — @ 12:44 pm </div> + <div class="feedback"> + <a href="http://eia.unu.edu/course/?page_id=111#comments" title="Comment on 2-4 EIA Requirements of International Organisations">Comments (4)</a> </div> + +</div> + + +<h2 id="comments">4 Comments + <a href="#postcomment" title="Leave a comment">»</a> +</h2> + +<ol id="commentlist"> + + <li id="comment-11444"> + <p>I am very happy for these application because i work in +environmental affairs ajency ( as aresearcher ) this information is very + important for us thank you</p> + <p><cite>Comment by amal fawzy — August 10, 2008 @ <a href="#comment-11444">6:28 pm</a></cite> </p> + </li> + + <li id="comment-32476"> + <p>Hi, I am a geography lecturer and interested in attaining +international qualifications on EIA as per the module above.
