23-26 April 2012, Bujumbura, Burundi – Burundi’s EIA regulation does not cover scoping as part of the EIA procedure. This creates lack of clarity: for the proponent of an investment to know what to cover in the EIA, and for the Ministry of Water, Environment, Spatial Planning and Urbanism, responsible for the review of the report, to know how to judge its quality. During a week-long training, the NCEA trained the complete Direction for Environment on scoping, and facilitated a process of decision making on how to integrate this new phase in the current system. An action plan has been developed and the NCEA will assist the Ministry to implement it.
