Objectives
The project aims to develop procedures for enabling and promoting public awareness and participation in social and environmental impact assessment (SEIA) and river basin water pollution control.
Key Activities / Components
· Phase I - Research, Dialogue and Design of Procedures for Public Participation in SEIA and Basin Water Pollution Control (2009): includes six sub-components relating to research, dialogue, and the design/dissemination of new procedures for the promotion of environmental awareness and public participation in SEIA and basin water pollution control in China
· Phase 2 - Pilot Study and Evaluation of Model Procedures for the Promotion of Environmental Awareness and Public Participation in SEIA and Basin Water Pollution Control (2009-2011): this phase focuses on the piloting and testing of the model procedures for the promotion of environmental awareness and public participation in SEIA relating to basin water pollution control in China, which were designed in the first phase 1. This will then lead to policy recommendations.
Contribution to ACEDP Program Outcomes
This intervention will influence the development and full integration of Chinese public participation policies in all aspects of EIA and basin pollution control.
Highlights
The workshop on procedures for public participation in SEIA and basin water pollution control was held in July 2010. Reports will be made available on the ACEDP Project Portal in due course.
Immediately following-up this workshop, the project team has begun Project Phase 2 work by implementing the training of the trainer and the Community Consultative Group (CCG) for piloting studies.
The training manual will be finetuned and expanded following the workshops with the view to making it available to all ACEDP projects as part of a broader gender mainstreaming, public participation and social impact management or GPS outreach.
