CHAPTER SIX: ASSESSMENT OF CAPCAITY IN IMPLEMENTATION OF THE ESMF

6.1 Analysis of Institutional Roles and capacity building needs


An analysis of the capacity of institutions to serve their roles in ZSEP as identified in the EMP has been analyzed in Table 6.1 in respect of two criteria namely :-


  • Level on involvement of the Institution in executing key roles of the ESMF namely;- Impact Screening, Impact Mitigation, Supervision of Mitigation and Impact Monitoring;




  • Availability of personnel and skills to execute roles identified for each institution.

Gaps in capacity amongst stakeholder institutions have been documented as follows;-


MoEVT: The MoEVT is the single most important player in implementing the ESMF as it is heavily involved in all aspect of the ESMF (screening, mitigation, supervision of mitigation and monitoring). This ESMF recognizes that MoEVT has adequate supervisory capacity down to district level but the staff lacks any significant exposure and skills required to execute environmental management as required in this ESMF. In particular, it is not clear that MoEVT has capacity to prepare the Project Reports so pivot all too environmental assessment of new construction sites.
The Department of Environment: The DOE would also provide periodic monitoring to ensure no adverse cumulative impacts for e the environmental advisor to all stakeholders involved in management of the ZSEP and to facilitate this role, it is important that DOE be fully conversant with the design and implementation procedure of ZSEP. Thus a 1 day seminar to facilitate this will be conducted for HQ and District staff of DOE.
The Department of Lands: As the custodian of land matters in Zanzibar, this department will play a crucial role in clarifying the tenure situation for all land targeted for development by both government and citizens and thus mitigating potential for conflict over land. Further, through preparation of physical development plans, this department guides the land-use process to ensue that all developments are in harmony with the local social and physical environment. The Department of lands will be involved in screening sites targeted by MoEVT for development of new institutions. It is therefore important that the department be sensitized, through a one (I) day seminar, on the design of ZSEP.
The Stone Town Conservation and Development Authority (STDCA): This authority will be involved in screening of proposals for rehabilitation of schools within Stone Town. The Authority implements the Stone Town Conservation Act no. of 1994 and has its own procedures and staff qualified in conservation of Heritage sites. Staff of the Authority however have no skills in environmental conservation and will require capacity building in this area.
The School Boards: School Boards will not be heavily involved in design and implementation of the ZSEP. However, during operation, School Boards will play the crucial role of preparation and implementation of Facility Management Plans to guide mitigation of impacts associated with operation of completed sub-components. Though schools have qualified teachers and even environmental clubs, environmental skills are essentially lacking. It is thus important that members of school boards be given induction training on how to design and administer Facility management Plans.

6.2: Requisite Capacity Building


Training will be required as follows:-
Module One: Curriculum for the Environmental Training for MoEVT

Attendance: HQ and district staff of MoEVT

  • The importance of public consultations in the ESMF process.

  • How to monitor mitigation measures.
