Resettlement plans hydropower dam - Guinea

A working group of experts visited Guinea, to assess the quality of the resettlement action plans of the Koukoutamba Hydropower Dam, its access roads and electricity lines. The dam is expected to cause involuntary resettlement of thousands of people and will impact important biodiversity areas, including chimpanzee habitats in and around the Moyen Bafing National Park.

Review ESIA hospital - Burkina Faso

The NCEA reviewed the ESIA and the Livelihood Restoration Plan for a new hospital in the east of Burkina Faso. Our review indicates the studies are - in genaral - of good quality. However, for the purpose of good decision making, more clarity should be provided on the safety situation, gender-specific impacts, resource consumption and how waste will be disposed of.

Presentation pilot Mining ESIA Tool - Geneva

At the IGF’s Annual General Meeting in Geneva, we presented the pilot of the Mining ESIA Tool (MET) in Burkina Faso. This tool - developed by the NCEA and IGF - identifies strengths and weaknesses of a countries' ESIA process for the mining sector. Based on the results of the pilot, we are organising a workshop in Burkina Faso on how to improve the consideration of social impacts of mining in an ESIA.
