Detailed procedures to be followed in SEA for the given planning process.
Appropriate methods and tools in SEA for a given planning/programming process.
Detailed ToR for the undertaking SEA within the given planning/programming process
General approach to undertaking SEA within the given planning process. This most simple discussion requires familiarity of the audience with the requirements of the Protocol, general features of planning system and basic logical links between elaboration of P/Ps and SEA. Its successful accomplishment may typically require 2-5 hours of work.
Detailed procedures to be followed in SEA for the given planning process. This more advanced discussion requires familiarity of the audience with the detailed requirements of the Protocol, detailed features of planning system and detailed logical links between elaboration of P/Ps and SEA. Its successful accomplishment may typically require 6-8 hours of work.
Appropriate methods and tools in SEA that are appropriate for the given planning process. Such advanced discussion requires familiarity of the audience with the detailed requirements of the Protocol, detailed features of planning system, detailed logical links between elaboration of P/Ps and SEA and methods that can be used in elaboration of environmental report and for carrying out consultations and public participation. Its successful accomplishment may typically require 9-15 hours of work, depending on the complexity of the planning process.
Detailed ToR for the undertaking SEA within the given planning process. This most advanced discussion requires familiarity of the audience with the detailed requirements of the Protocol, detailed features of planning system, detailed logical links between elaboration of P/Ps, SEA and methods that can be used in elaboration of environmental report and for carrying out consultations and public participation and with possible degrees of SEA integration into the planning process.
