Environmental Impact Assessment - EIA

Environmental Impact Assessment

Carrying out Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) is an essential component of most developmental and industrial activities in any country. This has been adopted to ensure that development and environment protection go hand-in-hand. To achieve this objective, it is crucial that quality of EIAs being carried out is of a high order so that possible impacts on environment of such activities can be assessed and mitigative measures adopted. However, the present situation is far from satisfactory, since the EIAs being developed, more often than not, do not measure up to the required quality.
