PUBLIC PARTICIPATION GUIDELINES
Most public participation guidelines are not country specific. Much of the available resources and information were generated internationally. However, most international resources are universally applicable or at least contain good guidelines or principles to go by. Therefore, if you do not find what you need under this part of the Website, remember to also look under the International, Africa or SADC or other country categories especially for South Africa.
Also, if you have materials to contribute, please contact us at the Calabash Website.
EIA GUIDELINES AND APPLICABLE LAWS
Environmental Impact Assessments are conducted all over the world to identify the potential negative and
positive impacts of a proposed project, and to recommend mitigation measures to avoid or reduce potential
negative impacts and enhance positive impacts. Almost every country has its own EIA guidelines and laws
or regulations. There are also many generic EIA guidelines available internationally so remember to look
under the International, Africa, SADC or other country categories, especially for South Africa.
