Published purpose

This project aims to improve sustainable economic growth for Peruvians including women and vulnerable groups, while reducing the environmental impacts of mining and energy activities. Specifically, the project intends to consolidate the leadership role of the Ministry of the Environment over environmental issues related to large mining and energy projects. It also aims to strengthen the capacity of regional governments responsible for handling the environmental impact assessments of small and medium-scale mining projects. Project activities include: (1) conducting a participatory diagnostic study of the current framework of Peru’s environmental assessment and management process; (2) providing technical assistance to key stakeholders for the development of an employee training program in environmental management; and (3) providing operational and technological support for environmental management and enforcement.
