Guidelines for Conducting Economic Analysis of Environmental Impacts in Uganda

The Government of Uganda with support from the Conservation Strategy Fund (CSF) through the National Environment Management Authority (NEMA) has developed these guidelines for economic analysis of environmental impacts as a step forward in the process of environmental impact assessments within the country. Environmental Impact Assessments (EIAs) are at the centre of environmental regulation under the National Environment Act Cap 153. All developers, whether government, private or non-governmental, are required by law to ensure that the actions they undertake, particularly new investments or changes in existing practices, minimize environmental damage.
