PURPOSE

Environmental Mitigation and Monitoring Report (EMMRs) are required for USAID-funded projects when the 22CFR216 documentation governing the project impose conditions on at least one project/activity component. EMMRs ensure that the ADS 204.3.3 requirements for reporting on environmental compliance are met. EMMRs are used to report on the status of mitigation and monitoring efforts in accordance with IEE requirements over the preceding project implementation period. They are typically provided annually, but the frequency will be stipulated in the IEE.

Responsibility for developing the EMMRs lies with USAID, but EMMRs are usually prepared by the Implementing Partner (IP) and submitted to USAID.

SCOPE

The following EMMR documents the mitigation measures implemented as detailed in the project EMMP, challenges encountered, and corrective actions taken. It describes the status of each required mitigation measure as stipulated in the EMMPR and provides a succinct update on progress regarding the implementation and monitoring of the EMMP.

This EMMR includes the following [Customizable by Bureau: Add or delete corresponding sections on following pages.]:

1. Narrative description of the EMMP implementation and monitoring system, any updates to the system, any staff or beneficiary trainings conducted on environmental compliance, lessons learned, and other environmental compliance reporting details.

2. EMMR table summarizing the status of mitigation measures, any outstanding issues relating to required conditions, and general remarks.

3. Photos of mitigation measures and activities, or other related attachments.

[Customizable by Bureau: The EMMR may be linked to incremental funding actions.]
