WHAT'S GOING WRONG WITH EIA REPORTING ?
HOW CAN WE IMPROVE THE QUALITY OF EIA REPORTS IN SOUTH AFRICA ?
A few weeks ago I posted a rant on LinkedIn about a substandard Basic Assessment Report. That wasn’t the first nor the last say on this critical issue. The post kind-of went viral and I received a call from someone who claimed that I was painting the profession in a bad light.
Now, being no stranger to controversy, I have continuously written on this issue :
WHAT’S GOING WRONG WITH EIA REPORTING ?
For someone who has been reviewing EIAs since 1998, there is definitely something wrong with the quality of EIA Reporting in South Africa.
It seems as if new laws, policies, guidelines and professional registration has done little to significantly improve the quality of EIA reporting ?
Why is this so ?
HOW CAN WE IMPROVE THE QUALITY OF EIA REPORTS ?
In theory, there are plenty of ways in which we can improve EIA quality.
What are they ?
How can we go about implementing positive change in a dynamic profession and legislative environment ?
JOIN me in a first of many discussions on this topic, where we will attempt to figure out what’s really going wrong, and how to turn things around for the profession.
