National Government Agency Public-Private Partnership Manual (Draft), Annex 5

Environmental assessment and management of projects eligible under the Public-Private Partnership (PPP) Program is a major requirement. The PPP Program adheres to the concept of sustainable development, and thus, the Implementing Agency (IA) should undertake environmental assessment of projects at the early stage of project preparation and environmental monitoring during project implementation. Environmental impact assessment (EIA) is a major component of a well-prepared PPP Project.

There are various Philippine environmental and natural resources laws, rules, and regulations that programs and projects have to adhere to and comply with. However, for purposes of the PPP projects, this Annex provides an overview of the requirements, processes and procedures that generally cover most PPP projects, most particularly, the Philippine Environmental Impact Statement (PEIS) System.

This Annex provides information that should enable the IA to gain basic knowledge and understanding of the environmental impact assessment (EIA) process and corresponding environmental monitoring and reporting requirements for various PPP projects.
