8037-01. Cooperation WWF - Paraguay

The NCEA supported an SEA for an Urban Masterplan for Chaco-i (accross the river in Asunción, Paraguay). This was done through capacitybuilding and coaching of the team responsible for the SEA (GEAM/Altervida) at the request of the Ministry of Urbanism, Housing and Habitat. Other governmental and non-governmental entities that have a role in the Masterplan were also be involved. WWF Netherlands and WWF-Paraguay support this initiative financially.

Significant details

In addtion, a needs assessment with government & CSO actors was undertaken to identify the government's current and desired situation in relation to SEA/ESIA and identify where the NCEA can have added value. Probably this will lead to NCEA support to a study tour of Paraguayan authorities to the Netherlands in relation to planned interventions in the Hidrovia (river navigation) and options for considering nature based solutions and ESIA/SEA.
