The NCEA reviewed the ESIA for the Sèmè-Podji deep sea port in Benin. It concludes that the ESIA meets international standards and Beninese requirements. However, the NCEA also notes some shortcomings. If these are repaired, the ESIA will be a sound basis for decision making on an environmental license.

Review of ESIA for Bagan project, Myanmar
The preliminary ESIA for the Bagan multi-purpose beautification project has been reviewed by the NCEA. According to the NCEA, the ESIA gives insufficient information for decision making about the project. Possible alternatives and their impacts still need to be elaborated and compared. These shortcomings can be remedied in a final ESIA study.
