SEA in development practice: a review of recent experience (OECD)

The OECD DAC SEA Task Team has published a report which explores SEA applications in nine developing countries.Many development co-operation agencies and their partners are already making good progress in applying SEA. This publication presents the nine most interesting case studies of SEA in progress, selected from a total 100.  These nine cases highlight that SEA can: safeguard environmental assets for sustainable poverty reduction and development; build public engagement in decision making; prevent costly mistakes by alerting decision-makers to potentially unsustainable development options at an early stage in the decision-making process; speed up implementation of projects and programmes; facilitate co-operation around shared environmental resources and contribute to conflict prevention. http://www.oecdbookshop.org/oecd/display.asp?k=5KG3NGRHQ16F&lang=en
