Environmental & Social Impact Assessment has traditionally been one of the significant services offered by our company. Numerous Environmental and Social Impact Assessments (ESIA) have been conducted by our team of experts for both the public and private sectors. We work mainly in infrastructure projects such as Roads, Built Environment, Aviation, Water and Sanitation, Irrigation and Energy sectors.
Conducting an environmental audit (EA) is no longer an option but a sound precaution and a proactive measure in today's heavily regulated environment. Environmental Audit plays a crucial role in encouraging systematic incorporation of environmental perspectives into many aspects of an organization’s overall operation. At E-CUE ASSOCIATES, we recognize that environmental health and safety is a critical area in the development and operations across all industry types.
We have a team of experts and associates who offer periodic and objective assessment of an organization's activities and services in relation to:
Integrating environmental considerations into plans and policy formulation at early stages has become a reliable way of envisioning high level impacts that can be streamlined during the environmental impact assessment process. E – Cue Associates has tremendous experience in conducting SEAs for institutions and organizations while fostering and providing critical systematic considerations at sectoral, regional and national levels. We also endeavor to ensure that the considerations proposed are critical both in ensuring environmental sustainability and pollution prevention.
Development of Resettlement Action Plans (RAP) continue to be a critical aspect of large scale projects. We are actively involved in RAP preparations for infrastructure projects in Kenya. The company’s skills in stakeholder management are crucial in this respect to ensure that the stakeholders involved can be successfully persuaded to “buy in” and fully commit to the process of assessment and integrated mitigation. At E-CUE ASSOCIATES, we have experience with different types of Resettlement Action Plans such as Rural, Urban, Linear and Site-specific Resettlement Action plans
We have confidence that integrating purposeful actions intended to produce a targeted change in some aspect of climate is fundamental in combating climate change impacts resulting from large scale development projects. At E–Cue Associates we believe that it is important to integrate climate change aspects during the planning and design phases of projects. Indeed climate change vulnerability assessments have become a key component and output during the design phase of infrastructure developments.
E–Cue Associates believes that transfer of knowledge in Environmental Impact Assessment and Audits as well as Occupational Safety and Health audits is crucial in helping organizations operate at their optimum capacity while anticipating and reducing impacts and risks that have the potential to plague and cripple projects. E – Cue Associates provides the knowledge and skills required to make this a reality. We use three major models namely:
Our areas of expertise are:
We understand that the growing demand for development effectiveness is largely based on the realization that producing good “deliverables” is not enough. Efficient or well-managed projects and outputs will lose their relevance if they yield no discernible improvement in development conditions and ultimately in peoples’ lives. At E-Cue we believe that there is a need for a strong and coherent monitoring and evaluation framework that promotes learning and performance measurement. That way, the outcomes of M&E can inform our management decisions and future programming decisions.
