EIA

Government established policy direction for implementation of the SEA by enhancing the PERS

The new PERS has been implemented by June, 2006

Established the implementation methods for SEA and EIA to cope with the dispute associated with implementation of the two EA system

Developed assessment methods for the SEA and EIA based on the characteristics and data availability at the stage of policy, plan, program, and project-established tiering system

SEA Guideline for water resources is under developing
