The World Bank's Operational
Directive 4.01 on Environmental Assessments (EA) calls for
consulting the public on environmental impacts in
Bank-financed projects. The operational directive (OD)
requires borrowers to prepare environmental assessments in
those categories of projects that have potential significant
impact on the environment. The Bank requires that at
designated stages of the EA cycle, borrowers conduct
meaningful consultations with affected groups and local
NGOs. The criteria for assessing meaningful consultation is
based on the Borrower's or EA preparer's capacity
to identify the affected groups and obtain information.
Meaningful consultation will be deemed to have taken place
if the final EA document reflects the views of affected
groups, local nongovernmental organizations, and those
traditionally excluded from the consultative and planning
processes, as well as those of the project's sponsor
and other relevant government agencies. |
