Public Participation in EIA

Public participation in Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) involves involving communities and individuals in reviewing and providing feedback on projects that may affect their environment. This process ensures that local knowledge, concerns, and values are considered before decisions are made. It promotes transparency, accountability, and informed decision-making by allowing the public to express support or objections, suggest alternatives, and influence project planning. Overall, public participation helps create more sustainable and socially responsible development by aligning project outcomes with community interests and environmental protection.
