Introduction

Peru has a wide experience in the implementation of EIA. In the last decade the EIA system is developed as a tool for environmental management. Also there is some SEA experience. 
The legislation of the national System of Environmental Impact Assessment (SEIA), approved in 2009, sets the procedures for EIA and SEA. For SEA in 2016 specific mechanisms and procedures have been developed. Environmental authorities in the case of the EIA are sectoral authorities. The Ministry of Environment evaluates and approves SEA.
