This volume argues that governance that is both appropriate to the context and “good” is crucial for effective and equitable conservation. This applies to all kinds of protected areas and other conserved areas, in terrestrial, inland waters, coastal and marine environments.

The report analyzes how the humanitarian community and the emerging volunteer and technical communities worked together in the aftermath of the 2010 earthquake in Haiti, and recommends ways to improve coordination between them in future emergencies. The report is based on interviews with more than 40 technology and humanitarian experts, many of whom responded to the devastating January 2010 earthquake in Haiti.

The primary aim of these guidelines is to assist programme officers at Sida to review EIAs. However, since both reviewing and making an EIA are based on the same concept, most of what is said about reviewing EIAs is also applicable to making EIAs. Therefore, these guidelines can also be of use to partners in cooperation who can obtain a picture of Sida's intentions regarding EIAs, Sida's requirements in this connection and, not least, general knowledge about EIAs.
