Need for Effective Training
A primary lesson in DC use of the EIA process is that the NEnPAs could make
much better utilization of the process if the training efforts sponsored by IAAs
were planned to be much more realistic. EIA technology and its adaptation to suit
DC conditions is a complex subject
110
, and most of the IAA-sponsored projects
have made the mistake in assuming that the needed technology can be effectively
transferred to the DC practitioner in a short-term period — say, for one year, and
often the trainer himself is not “DC-oriented.” The need is for a different approach
where consulting EIA expertise is furnished to the NEnPA on a continuing basis
over a period of, say, 5 to 10 years. This can be part time, so the same expert
can give service to more than a single EIA agency — say, 1 week per month to
each of four agencies

.
Another way for improving EIA technology transfer is for the IAAs to modify
their plan for financing of technical assistance to DC projects, which virtually
always includes financing only for expat experts to carry out their work, assisted
by DC staff assigned to them, without provision for meetings with the staff
to explain their “thinking” for carrying out the project. The expert uses the
assistants, but without explaining to them the “why” of what they are doing.
