Support options

The Netherlands has extensive experience in spatial planning and the environment. Since 1993, the Netherlands Commission for Environmental Assessment (NCEA) advises and supports governments, organisations, and institutes around the world to fully apply environmental and social impact assessment at project and strategic levels. We do this through independent advice and review, coaching, capacity development, and system analysis.

What are the costs?

In all countries that have a bilateral agreement with the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs, our assistance for competent authorities, civil society organisations and academia is free of charge.
In exceptional cases, competent authorities from other countries can also make use of our independent review free of charge. In all other cases, support can be given on a non-profit basis.
