Mitigation measures

Mitigation measures are recommended actions to reduce, avoid or offset the potential adverse environmental consequences of development activities

The objective of mitigation measures is to maximise project benefits and minimise undesirable impacts.

Mitigation measures requires funding	for which implementation of the proposed should be estimated and included in the EIA report

Mitigation measures should be integrated in the project design	so that these measures may automatically form a part of the construction and operational phases of the project

Mitagation measures is not limited to one point in the EIA process.	At any time, during project implementation, new types of impacts can be identified and appropriate mitigation measures should be proposed for addressing them

Link between mitigation and monitoring	Mitigation measures are of no value unless they are implemented, hence, they should be devised with monitoring in mind.
