Strengths
• Proximity: all key players are near – easy communication
• Knowledge: strong skills base within MEPA• History: good track record on EIAs & well-
developed land use policy• Information: sound IT base• Awareness: strong public expectations from
the Funds
Weaknesses
• Economies of scale: is it worth the trouble?• Finance: limited allocation of funds• Resources: limited HR & institutional
capacity• Culture: lack of sensitivity for environmental
concerns• Direction: lack of strategy on environment• Perception: environmental concerns are
seen as an added cost, not an asset
Opportunities
• Improve / capitalize on communication• Apply SEAs• Promote the use of ICT for integration• Still in time to influence EU guidelines &
regulations• Use of technical assistance for
capacity-building• Share experience with other MS
Threats
• Money spent on bad projects
• Lack of time & “parallel programming”
• Weak evaluations
• Lack of coordination amongst different Funds
• Narrow recognition of the roles of EAs within the proposed regulations
THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION
