SEA PRESENTATION

Defn and Purpose of SEA What is SEA SEA refers to analytical and participatory approaches that aim to integrate environmental and social consideration into policies, plans and programs (PPP) and evaluate their interlinkages with economic and social considerations.

Purpose of SEA Why SEA To ensure that project related environmental and social issues are identified and integrated into policy, planning and decision-making processes. To comply with legal requirements: The Legal Notice No 101 (Environmental Impact Assessment and Audit Regulations 2003), Section 42, states that: ‘’Lead agencies shall in consultation with NEMA subject all proposals for policy, plans and programmes to a ”Strategic Environmental Assessment…’’ NEMA recommended for SEA of Mombasa Gate City Master Plan because The Master Plan is a land use plan The Master Plan will lead to projects requiring Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) The Master Plan will require relatively high consumption of resources.

When is SEA Necessary? If the project is likely to result in significant environmental effects due to its magnitude, duration or spatial extent of effects; If the proposed policy, plan or programme is likely to be politically or publicly contentious; If the cumulative nature of the effects are likely to be significant; If there are likely to be trans-boundary effects (i.e. likely to affect other counties, regions and countries). If social and/or ecological systems in target area have low resilience and/or high vulnerability to disturbance or impact (e.g. poor communities, sensitive ecosystems); If the project is likely to have a negative impact on unique or highly valued natural or cultural elements or result in major changes in behaviours of resident communities.

How is SEA different from EIA? SEA is undertaken for Plans, Policies and Programs whereas EIA is undertaken for specific projects; SEA incorporates a rigorous stakeholder engagement process with stakeholder and public consultation at every stage of the process; Under SEA it is mandatory to assess the long term effects of a plan as well as impacts beyond the geographical location of the plan

Objectives of SEA To provide an early opportunity to check whether or not a proposal complies with national and international environmental policy and legislative obligations To support sustainable development, based on ecological safety and environmental limitations; To preserve positive impacts of the proposed activity and prevent or mitigate the negative impacts and their consequences and ensure exclusion activities with irreversible negative impacts; To ensure assessment of possible risks for natural and anthropogenic disasters and emergencies; To provide opportunities for public notification and participation at an early stage in the planning process.
