EIA Capacity Building in Electricity Vietnam

Electricity Vietnam

Electricity Vietnam (EVN) is in the process of strengthening its power generation, transmission and distribution systems, supported in part by a World Bank loan. This project was designed to strengthen EVN's capacity to prepare and implement environmental assessments, to meet World Bank requirements and ensure that environmental protection and resettlement safeguards are met.

Specific tasks undertaken by ESSA included:

reviewing environmental impacts assessments (EIAs) and identifying areas for improvement;
working with Vietnamese staff responsible for the preparation of EIA reports to improve their quality;
preparing and delivering a three-day national workshop on EIA for transmission and small hydro; the audience consisted of 80 staff and managers from Project Management Boards, power companies, consultants and others responsible for implementing projects; and
preparing a Capacity Building and Training Plan for environmental protection for the EVN Group.
