Environmental Assessment
Service Description
This service guides developers through the preparation of Environmental Impact Assessments (EIAs) or Environmental Audits in compliance with the Environmental Management and Coordination Act (EMCA) Section 58 and the Physical and Land Use Planning Act (PLUPA) Section 57. It includes steps for meeting NEMA requirements, preparing EIA reports, and conducting public participation. Why This Matters: Environmental approvals are mandatory for certain developments in Kenya. Obtaining NEMA approval ensures your project meets legal environmental standards, avoids penalties, and proceeds without future legal or administrative bottlenecks.
