Environmental Impact Assessment for the construction of three rock catchments’
Environmental Impact Assessment for the construction of three rock catchments in Laisamis Sub-County
Organisation Caritas Switzerland is non-governmental aid agency and member of Caritas Internationalis. Caritas works worldwide and adheres to international humanitarian principles (NGO code of conduct). Caritas encourages people to take charge of their own fate and does this by promoting local initiatives that sustainably improve the living conditions of the socially disadvantaged, advocating the conservation of natural resources, supporting civil conflict resolution and peace building, cooperating with local partners and strengthening their own commitments.
During the 2011 Horn of Africa Crisis, Caritas responded in Kenya with emergency projects in Marsabit, Wajir, Turkana, Dadaab, Kitui and Ngong. The interventions focussed on WASH and Food Security to mitigate the impacts of drought on pastoralist communities. As follow-up on its intervention Caritas is currently implementing a WASH project whose interventions include the construction of three rock catchment systems in Laisamis Sub-County. Caritas Switzerland is therefore looking for an individual consultant to undertake Environmental Impact Assessments (EIA) for each of the three planned rock catchments.
