We support project developers, financial institutions, independent engineers and consultants by providing readiness and conformity assessments of environmental and social impact assessments (ESIA/SEAs), Resettlement Action Plans (RAP), stakeholder engagegement or public consultation and disclosure plans (SEP, PCDP), community development plans (CDP) and CSR strategies. Client requested benchmarks used include particularly the IFC Performance Standards, Equator Principles, EBRD Performance Requirements and good international practice. 

 

Fast-track readiness assessments result in the identification of 'red flag' issues of concern to 'Equator Banks,' Export Credit Agencies (such as EDC, EXIM, OPIC, ECGD, KfW/DEG, JBIC) and multilateral financial instituions (such as IFC, MIGA and EBRD). The report also outlines and prioritizes options to address any material gaps identified. Related services include capacity building of local teams and consultants, and support during investment applications to and due diligence by financial institutions and Export Credit Agencies.
