Description
The World Bank asked the Netherlands Commission for Environmental Assessment to prepare a first discussion draft on a potential role for a Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) in countries affected by armed conflicts, such as the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) and Haiti. The paper focuses on questions such as: what should be the purpose of an SEA and when to apply it? How to undertake an SEA most effectively in those situations; is it different from emerging good practice in non-conflict situations? How to build capacity for an SEA in conflict affected countries: what are priorities and where to start?
