INTRODUCTIONEffective community participation is essential for a successful environmental impact assessment.
However, several obstacles prevent meaningful involvement.
Explain the concept of environmental impact assessments (EIA).
Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) is a process that assesses the potential ecological
consequences of a proposed project or development before it begins. Its mission is to predict
environmental impacts early in project planning and design, identify ways to mitigate negative
effects, shape projects to fit the local environment and present predictions and options to decision-
makers.
- Simplifying EIA procedures can improve user-friendliness. This could include developing clear
standards and checklists that communities can use.
- Increased participation: Involving community members in the EIA process from the beginning can
improve their understanding and contribution. This could involve workshops or public gatherings.
- Educating communities on EIA can improve engagement with the process.
- Using technology: Simplified software and mobile apps can assist communities in gathering data
and assessing consequences without requiring professional knowledge.
