Environmental  Impact Assessment Process In Kenya

Under Kenya’s environmental laws, Environmental Impact Assessment is required for all projects that are likely to have a negative effect on the environment. The law classifies these projects into three groups according to the seriousness of their likely effects, namely: Low Risk, Medium Risk, and High-Risk projects. The full list of projects classified under these three categories is outlined in the Second Schedule of the Environmental Management and Coordination Act.
