Asian Development Bank

CEA’s in ADB (1)
• The Country Environmental Analysis (CEA)
provides background information necessary for
informed decision making on environmental
constraints, needs, and opportunities in a
developing member country, including those
that impinge upon poverty partnership
agreements
CEA’s in ADB (2)
Background:
• ADB was reorganised in 2002
• Under the new business practices, the
Country Strategy and Program (CSP)
requires longer term and more integrated
approach to planning and resource
allocation based on sectoral “Road Maps”
and thematic analyses
• A key thematic analysis is the CEA
CEA’s in ADB (3)
CEA’s
• are directed at policy, program, and sector levels
• are required for all and updated CSP carried out
in 2003
• will serve as basis for planning of environmental
projects and technical assistance
• will serve as a Initial Strategic Environmental
Assessment of projects and technical assistance
proposed or identified in the CSP
CEA format (1)
The CEA is expected to provide:
– Environmental quality baseline
– Trends in environmental quality under business
as usual scenario
– Identification of major factors affecting the
trend
– Financing and budget analysis
– Government program (Policy and
Infrastructure)
– Multilateral and bilateral agencies’ programs
CEA format (2)
• Institutional Analysis
– Legislation, regulations, standards,
– Resources allocated for enforcement
– Governance, political will and transparency of
enforcement mechanisms
– Organizational structure for enforcement and
updating of environmental regulations and standards
• Gap analysis
• ADB past and proposed program
CEA issues (1)
• CEA and the need for greater cooperation
between government and the international
financial institutions as well as among
development assistance institutions to
develop common

CEA issues (2)
• CEA will require exchange of information on
the road maps of government and the
multilateral and bilateral institutions
– to a common or compatible gap analysis
– to minimise if not to eliminate duplication
– to make a wider and longer term view in the
planning of environmental programs or
interventions
