Event: Country Safeguard Systems: Central and West Asia AFG: National Environmental Impact Assessment Policy 30 November 2007 View File Over the past 30 years both developed and developing countries have implemented and refined EIA processes so now they are commonplace and accepted by society in general as one way to improve environmental conditions through the development agenda. However, during this period Afghanistan has been subject to significant conflict which as a result has caused it to fall behind in global trends brought about by the environment movement. With this background in mind, the purpose of this policy document is to take the first step in developing a formal EIA procedure in Afghanistan. This procedure will form the basis of an administrative process which can be adopted by the Government of the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan.
