Rapid Environmental Impact Assessment Guidelines, Version 4.2 December 2003 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS This document was prepared with the input, advice and suggestions of a number of persons and cooperation of a number of organizations. Mario Pareja, John Twigg (Benfield Hazard Research Centre) and Sigrid Nagoda (CARE Norge) were actively involved in the development of the REA and in reviewing drafts. Patricia Charlebois provided critical suggestions on REA Version 1.0, as well as overseeing the UNEP funding for the REA development. Louise Sperling (CIAT) and Anshu Sharma (SEEDS) provided significant suggestions on how to improve the REA process and presentation. Other REA Advisory Board members include Walter Knausenberger, Becky Myton, Gaspard Bikwemu, Franklin J. McDonald and Julio Galvez Tan. The development of the REA also profited from extensive work by UNHCR on refugees and the environment, led by David Stone, and the development of a UNHCR Handbook for Environmental Assessment by Ron Bisset. Debbie Williams, formerly of Benfield Hazard Research Centre, provided input into early REA drafts. Suggestions and comments on the REA were also received from staff at Action Aid, The British Red Cross, CARE Norway, CARE US, Children’s Aid Direct, Church World Service, Cooperative Housing Foundation, The UK Department for International Development, ECHO, Interaction, The International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies, Mercy Corps International, Nature Club, Organization of American States, Save the Children US, The Sphere Project, The US Agency for International Development, VOICE, World Vision, and the World Wide Fund for Nature. The Afghanistan field test was conducted with the support of Sally Austin, Assistant Country Director, Programme and Paul Barker, Country Director, and with the participation of Farida, Sayed Abrar, Mohammad Alem, Feda Mohammad, Amir Mohammad, Waleen Hakim, Ab. Jamil, and Dad Mohammad, all of CARE Afghanistan. The second field test was conducted in Ethiopia with the support of CARE Ethiopia staff Samuel Tadesse, REA Counterpart, Dereje Adugna, Disaster Officer, Holly Solberg, Program Coordinator, and personnel of the Awash Conservation and Development Project. The third field test of the REA Guidelines was conducted in Central Kalimantan Indonesia with the support and hard work of Johan Kieft, Ujang Suparman (Assessment Team Leader), Medi Yusva, Muslim, Waliadi and Aspian Nur of CARE Indonesia and Lilik S., Yokobeth S. and Dedy S. of Yayasan Cakrawala Indonesia. Further post-field test comments and suggestions on the REA were provided by Paul Thompson and Jeff Klenk of InterWorks. The Guidelines also benefited from comments and suggestions provide by participants at REA training workshops in Norway and Guatemala held during April 2003 and in India in November 2003.
