NCEAs Systems approach to ESIA effectiveness

Since 1993, the NCEA has contributed to the strengthening of ESIA and SEA systems in low and middle-income countries.
The NCEA defines an ESIA/SEA system as the interaction of individual ESIA and SEA processes, the capacity of organisations with responsibilities in those processes and the quality of a set of ‘enabling conditions’ that are necessary for effective ESIA/SEA practice.
