Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) aims to evaluate the potential environmental impacts of development projects or activities prior to their initiation, enabling the implementation of precautionary measures to mitigate adverse effects on both people and the environment.

Typically, physical interventions associated with development projects can alter conditions or lead to pollution of air, water, and soil, thereby affecting the livelihoods of surrounding communities. By addressing the recommendations provided through EIA, projects can sustain productivity and long-term benefits.

Pathways Consulting Services Ltd. (PCSL) has developed in-house expertise in EIA and has become actively involved in this specialized research field. The extensive experience of PCSL’s Managing Director as an environmental activist, coupled with access to relevant stakeholders, has contributed to the gradual enhancement of PCSL’s capacity in this area.
