The main aim of the CBBIA project is to improve
the integration of biodiversity conservation
within impact assessment and decision making
processes. Through this, the ultimate objective
is to achieve sustainable development.
In order to strengthen capacity within the region,
SAIEA provides a range of training and skills-development programmes relating to
EIA and sustainable development. Training is targeted at government officials,
developers, non-government organisations, the private sector and EIA
practitioners. Current activities include the development of training materials,
presenting short training courses and hosting the Professional Development
Programme, which provides participants with hands-on experience in conducting an
EIA under field conditions.
In cooperation with CIDA and supported by World
Bank TF-ESSD funds SAIEA has launched the
Calabash Project in 2003. The project is one step of many to assist the SADC
region to move forward on democratic reform by using EIA as a catalyst for
participatory decision-making by providing appropriate tools knowledge and
networks to regulators, civil society, practitioners and industry of the SADC
region.
In 2003 SAIEA in cooperation with DANNIDA has
compiled a comprehensive - though by now slightly outdated - overview of the
State of Environmental Assessment in the SADC region. Its contents deal with
policy practice and institutional issues. It also contains a list of useful
references and contact numbers.
