Based on the public consultation, the capacity assessment of implementing federal and state level Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs) as well as the PMU, were carried out. The effective functioning of the MDAs is hindered by limited technical skills and resource constraints. Thus, institutional barriers include:
-
Limited knowledge of the relationship between World Bank Safeguards policies and the extant environmental and social laws in Nigeria;
-
Lack of enforcement of development control regulations;
-
Limited knowledge on EIAs and Environmental and Social Audits during construction/rehabilitation of drainages and culverts;
-
Limited knowledge on Strategic Environmental and Social Assessment;
-
Limited monitoring of water quality, river flow and lack of systemic hydrologic data collection;
-
Limited technical capacity on solid waste management;
In order to achieve the goal of the ESMF, there is a need for capacity building and strengthening of relevant competencies on environmental and social management at federal and state level MDAs – Kogi State Ministry of. It involves organizational development, the elaboration of management structures, processes and procedures, not only within organizations but also the management of relationships between the different organizations and sectors (public, private and community). The environmental and social management requirements and provisions outlined in this ESMF, competencies and capacity building will be required in the following areas:
-
Environmental Impact Assessment Process - screening, scoping, impact analysis, mitigation measures and monitoring, reviewing ESIA reports;
-
Environmental Due Diligence - types of due diligence, screening projects for liabilities, scoping due diligence investigations and reviewing due diligence reports; and
-
Monitoring and Evaluation - understanding the importance of monitoring and evaluation (M&E) in project implementation, M&E requirements for environmental and social sustainability of projects.
Specific areas for effective institutional capacity needs are given in Table 8.2.
