Environmental Management Framework (EMF) for Small Scale Rural Development Projects
CEE’s experience in supporting poverty alleviation initiatives in Andhra Pradesh
About CEE:
National institute established in 1984: centre of excellence in environment education, supported by MoEF
Head Office: Ahmedabad Southern Regional Office: Bangalore AP State Office: Hyderabad established in 2000
CEE’s role as Environment Agency CEE functions as Environment Agency for
the state Govt. Poverty alleviation programme funded by World Bank
Integrating Environmental management into small scale rural development projects – Environment Management Framework (EMF)
EMF - Objectives
To ensure that neither the livelihoods of the poor nor the environment are compromised
Explore possibilities of making the efforts to improve livelihoods as well as conservation of the environment complimentary so that there are sustained benefits from the development activities initiated
EMF Strategy
Mitigating any negative environmental impacts that may emerge from the sub-projects
Ensuring the long-term sustainability of benefits from sub-projects by securing the natural resource base on which they are dependent
Facilitating Proactive Subprojects
Components of EMF
Environmental assessment
Proactive subprojects
Environmental Assessment Part of every project appraisal
Detail or level of assessment depends on project type
Suggests ways in which positive impacts and be enhanced and negative impacts controlled
EA Process
Specifically, EA includes:
Screening to identify the level of environmental assessment required
Assessment, specific to the nature and scale of the sub-project
Screening
Can the sub-project be taken up? Dos and Don'ts based on
Laws, Regulations of GOI and GOAP Safeguard Policies of the World Bank
If yes, what is the level of EA required?
Level of assessment
Level Details
Level 0 Doesn’t depend on or use any natural resource directly, doesn’t adversely impact any natural resource, detailed assessment not required
Level 1 Marginal or short-term impact or positive impact on the environment
Level 2 Significant or irreversible or long-term negative impact
Level 3 Severe adverse environmental impact, which cannot be mitigated within a feasible timeframe and budget
Proactive subprojects
Use of alternate resources (bio gas plants, solar devices)
Efficient use of existing resources (fuel efficient cook stoves, micro irrigation systems,)
Create or enhance natural resources to support livelihoods (energy plantations, water harvesting)
Create or enhance systems for sustainable management of natural resources (pasture land management, IPM practices)
Implementation
Designing and facilitating the implementation of EMF (development of system and tools for assessment)
Capacity building (main and refresher trainings)
Material development (tool box, hand books, flash cards, posters)
Monitoring (six monthly supervision visits)
EA tool
Parts of a tool Use of natural resources Impact on natural resources (use of resource
and waste release) Mitigation measures Details of mitigation measures
Common environmental issues Livestock: fodder
scarcity, improper shelter, improper composting
Common environmental issues Agriculture: Heavy
use of chemicals, lack of technical support
Common environmental issues NTFP: Unsustainable
methods of harvesting, improper storage
Common environmental issues Brick making and
Pottery: Heavy consumption of fuel wood, extraction of soil from agricultural lands
Examples of application of EASubproject proposed: Sheep rearing
Suggestions after EA:Rotational grazing
Stall feeding
Subproject proposed: Cotton cultivation in 5 acres
Suggestions after EA:Cotton+ Jowar : 2 acres
Redgram + Soybean: 1 acre
Cotton: 2 acres
Out comes Agriculture: Use of organic manures, change
in cropping systems, micro irrigation methods, mulching, etc.
Livestock: Fodder cultivation, composting the manure, fodder enrichment, rotational grazing, supplementary feed, immunization, shed construction, etc.
NTFP: Sustainable extraction, permission from forest department, etc.
