JICA Guidelines for Environmental and Social Considerations (January 2022)

Notes

• [1] Regarding the term standards of the host country etc. mentioned in the environmental checklists, in the event that environmental standards in the country where the project is located diverge significantly from international standards, appropriate environmental considerations are made, if necessary. In cases where local environmental regulations are yet to be established in some areas, considerations should be made based on comparisons with appropriate standards of other countries (including Japan' experience).
• [2] Environmental checklists provide general environmental items to be checked. It may be necessary to add or delete an item taking into account the characteristics of the project and the particular circumstances of the country and locality in which it is located.
