Supervision of EMPs
Implementation (enforcement) of EMPs has often
been problematic
Assignment of a dedicated Environment
Specialists to PIU is good practice
Monitoring/Reporting Program needs to cover
environmental indicators
Legal Coverage/Bidding and Contracting
Documents
Active supervision is needed, including reshaping
mitigation measures, institutional assignments,
etc.
Concluding Remarks
EMPs provide a critical link between the EA report
required for Banks appraisal and environmental
compliance during project implementation/operation
Integration of EMP into ECA countries evolving national
EIA procedures is an elaborate but essential task
Quality of EMP preparation and its integration into project
design and operation has a strong impact on the quality
of environmental compliance on the ground
EMP requirements are legally binding on the
construction/installation contractors, but only when
they are in their contract!
Supervision of EMP implementation is an integral part of
the Banks project supervision process
