2.1 Private sector development: screening Since 2009, the RVO has been asking the NCEA to screen project proposals that have been submitted for financing under the PSD facilities. The NCEA's screening focuses on whether or not an ESIA is required according to the receiving country’s legislation. Where necessary, we also check which IFC performance standards are triggered by the project. This way the RVO is better able to anticipate the requirements that need to be met, can communicate its expectations to project proponents, and avoid unexpected procedural delays further down the line. For the coming years, we expect a continued demand from the RVO to provide this type of advice. For many of the facilities, applications can be submitted anytime, and we screen the proposals as they come in. For the FDW and FDOV facilities, proposals are submitted in batches, and we screen a larger number of project in one go. Going by past experience, the NCEA assumes 2 rounds of calls each for FDW and FDOV in between 2017 and 2022.
NCEA 2023-2032: Improvement of the Environmental Assessment system https://eia.nl/en/our-work/theory-of-change
3.1 Sustainable finance: independent advice The NCEA can review the quality of ESIAs for (Dutch) investments in risky or politically sensitive situations, where an independent advice is considered of high importance with a view to credibility and reputation management. Preferably this is done at the request of the government concerned, but where necessary, it can also be done at the request of the financing institution.
3.6 Sustainable finance: higher education For a country to ensure the necessary professional expertise on environmental assessment (EA), it needs to make available education for professional development on ESIA and SEA. This includes EA related education at the tertiary level, teaching in academic or knowledge institutions, and professional training. The NCEA can be involved in several ways: • In the development of curricula at teaching institutions. This can also be done at the initiative of the national EA association; • Provide technical inputs to education and training programmes that are part of these curricula; • Provide technical inputs to training programmes and sessions that are organised for EA professionals; • Provide training of trainers (ToT) to ensure sufficient training capacity for the above mentioned programmes. The NCEA can facilitate complete ToT trajectories, or can provide technical input where needed.
1.09 Country and regional programmes: reconnaissance Before the NCEA starts working with a partner in a country, there is a phase of reconnaissance: a request is made by the partner, and the NCEA takes time to assess the request in detail, to discuss what further needs to be done, to hold meetings with other actors in the ESIA and/or SEA system, with the Netherlands Embassy and other donors active in related fields. Sometimes, activities cannot start straight away due to circumstances in the country. The reconnaissance phase may therefore vary in duration.
1. Country and regional programmes Country and regional programmes on environmental assessment form the core of our work. These programmes are implemented in Dutch focus countries and regions for development cooperation. The activities under these programmes are structured as follows: 1) Activities to strengthen key functions of the national ESIA/SEA system, being Regulatory Framework; Awareness, Commitment and Funding; Higher Education; EA Helpdesk; System Monitoring; and Professional Exchange; 2) Activities to support the development of organisational capacity in the national ESIA/SEA system; 3) Activities to support individual ESIA/SEA processes within these countries and regions, through independent advice or coaching. Moreover, the programme contains budgets for reconnaissance and M&E of its activities.
4.2 Knowledge and learning: products and services Knowledge products include: • Cases on EA in specific sectors such as hydropower, climate change, extractive industry or on the introduction of SEA; • Tools and building blocks on scoping and review; • Presentations at international conferences and seminars. These products are used by NCEA staff in their programmes, in presentations and training workshops. They also provide information for DGIS / EKN staff on results of NCEA work and added value of environmental assessment. Also, fellow EA practitioners worldwide use them, both for capacity development and as input for research. Some specific cases and publications are targeted at multi-lateral platforms such as the IPCCC to stimulate debate on the use and added value of EA instruments in obtaining their objectives. We also provide the NCEA helpdesk. This helpdesk is coordinated by the knowledge and communication staff and largely carried out by the technical secretaries. It aims to address questions from various target groups, varying from queries on specific sectors, such as EA for hydropower, to more requests for procedural information on, for example, quality assurance in the EA process.
3.3 Sustainable finance: organisational and individual capacity The NCEA can provide targeted capacity development of governments or other key stakeholders in the ESIA system, such as NGOs or consultants, in countries with a high level of Dutch investments or where many investments are expected in the near future. This is comparable to the NCEA’s current capacity development activities in focus countries. The activities should preferably take place in partnership with parties such as the World Bank or IFC. Where relevant, ESIA workshops can also target staff of Dutch parties such as FMO and Atradius, similar to the workshops that are already undertaken for the RVO.
4.3 Knowledge and learning: communication and maintaining networks Communication is key in getting our message across and making our services known to those who have a demand for it, such as governments and stakeholders in developing countries, DGIS and EKN staff and the Dutch private sector. For this, not only the content of our communication is important, but also how this content is ‘packed’. Promptness, accessibility and innovative, attractive design are guiding principles in our communication. As part of communication, we participate in networks. For example, participation in thematic and country networks (as part of country programmes) or participating in Dutch trade missions.
2.5 Private sector development: coordination Since the PSD programme covers several distinct facilities, coordination of the activities is needed to ensure consistency and efficiency. Activities include pipeline management - especially important because some of the facilities work with batches of projects - follow-up activities with RVO, coordination meetings both with assigned RVO staff and within the NCEA.
5. Reservation In a number of countries, regions and programmes there is great potential for further development of the EA systems, yet even greater uncertainty of a suitable context for such development. Uncertainty may stem from security and stability issues, unclarity of commitment and demand, or the fact that programmes are still at early stages of development. For this reason we have built in flexibility for future windows of opportunity into our 5-year programme by including a reservation.
1.03 Country and regional programmes: higher education For a country to ensure the necessary professional expertise on environmental assessment (EA), it needs to make available education for professional development on ESIA and SEA. This includes EA related education at the tertiary level, teaching in academic or knowledge institutions, and professional training. The NCEA can be involved in several ways: • In the development of curricula at teaching institutions. This can also be done at the initiative of the national EA association; • Provide technical inputs to education and training programmes that are part of these curricula; • Provide technical inputs to training programmes and sessions that are organised for EA professionals; • Provide training of trainers (ToT) to ensure sufficient training capacity for the above mentioned programmes. The NCEA can facilitate complete ToT trajectories, or can provide technical input where needed.
2.4 Private sector development: capacity development and workshops RVO staff & investors Complementary to our advice on specific ESIAs for project under the PSD facilities, the NCEA also provides workshops to both RVO staff and project proponents on the how and why of ESIA. The workshops serve to introduce the concept of ESIA to those for whom it is new (including new staff at the RVO - there is regular turn-over), to present good practice in relevant areas (water, public infrastructure), but also to exchange views on how ESIA relates to the facilities themselves. The workshops improve both the applicability and the uptake of the NCEA's ESIA advice. We generally hold workshops twice a year. Each one is tailormade for the target-group and contains examples and cases for the funds in question. In addition, the NCEA functions as a helpdesk for RVO and project proponents. They can approach us for clarification of ESIA procedures, sectoral ESIA guidelines and other related information.
