EIA Training Course in East Africa ‘99 |
 |
By Ulrik Jacobsen, FED, Denmark |
|
The Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) Fellowship is for NGOs and local authorities. It is organised by Forum for Energy and Development / INFORSE Secretariat, Denmark. Expenses are covered. Application deadline: 18 June 1999. There is an insufficient recognition of the environmental impact of small and medium scale development activities in which NGOs and local authorities are likely to be involved. One major reason for this is a lack of local expertise, suitable tools and methods for assessing environmental impact. The Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) training course in East Africa has been designed to address these needs. The course is expected to enable environmental NGOs and local authorities to conduct EIAs. It aims to facilitate the integration of EIA in the mechanisms for planning, approving and funding of small and medium scale development activities. |
|
| Training will be in 3 parts: | |
|
17 July - 1 August 1999 Introduction course at Arusha, Tanzania. 1 August-21 November 1999 Practice of EIA in the participants’ home country and organisation. 21-28 November 1999 Follow-up workshop at Arusha. |
|
| New Manual and Internet | |
| Based on the practice, a manual will be worked out that will suit for the local working conditions of NGOs and local authorities. In order to continue and institutionalise the newly acquired skills, an internet conference will be set up which will serve as point of reference and quality control for practitioners of EIA. | |
