AFG: National Environmental Impact Assessment Policy
30 November 2007
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.
