Senior Advisor Environmental and Social Assessment
The ESY-map is a diagnostic tool for assessing the quality of a national Environmental and Social Impact Assessment (ESIA) system. It was developed by the NCEA in close collaboration with the Southern African Institute for Environmental Assessment.
In a three day workshop, practioners and stakeholders work toward the result: a diagram showing the strengths and weaknesses of the current ESIA system at a glance. Practitioners and stakeholders involved in ESIA in a particular country, jointly apply the tool in an interactive workshop, facilitated by the NCEA. Through a standard set of questions, ESIA requirements and performance are being analyzed. The results are presented in a diagram, showing the strengths and weaknesses of the current ESIA system at a glance: a perfect point of departure to appreciate the good work done so far and to agree upon actions needed.
