Advice on scoping for ESIA for Pan Hlaing sluice, Myanmar

31 January 2017

Myanmar’s Department of Irrigation asked the NCEA to advise on the content to be addressed in the environmental and social impact assessment (ESIA) for development of the Pan Hlaing sluice. This sluice is intended to create a fresh water reservoir that can be used for irrigation and domestic purposes. The Pan Hlaing sluice is a pilot project in the water sector cooperation between Myanmar and The Netherlands. The ESIA to be done for this project should comply with both national and international (World Bank/IFC) regulations for ESIA. For more information, see the project page.
