The Netherlands Enterprise Agency (Rijksdienst voor Ondernemend Nederland, RVO) requested the NCEA to assist in the screening of seven projects submitted to the Ghana WASH Window for financiering. The NCEA checked the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) requirements for each of these projects.

Significant details

In 2014, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs supported public-private projects in the field of Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) and/or integral water management in Ghana through the Ghana WASH Window.

The NCEA's advisory report provides information on:

• EIA screening against Ghanaian EIA legislation;
• advice on legislative and procedural requirements for environmental assessment for the various proposals and how to effectively meet these;
• where relevant, additional advice on how sustainability issues and environmental and climate risks can be managed in project development and implementation.
