Resource information
The work of the Mekong Partnership for the Environment, and the work of
PACT, has been devoted to the role of EIA in achieving sustainable
development. Through the work of PACT and many other practitioners and
communities, the profile of EIA has been raised. Many discussions are occurring
to improve the standard and value of EIA. In particular, the development of
Regional Guidelines on Public Participation and the drafting of national
guidelines on Public Participation in EIA for both Cambodia and Myanmar are all
indicators of the importance of enhancing public participation in EIA.
This First Edition is aimed at practitioners, civil society, lawyers, EIA consultants
and project proponents. We hope that, by understanding the legal obligations
under national law, all stakeholders will work together to pursue constant
improvement in the EIA process across the Mekong region.
