Terms of Reference for Consultancy - Strategic Environmental Assessment

Abstract: Given that the Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) is a new technical field with gaps in terms ofenvironmental professionals to conduct SEA’s in Kosovo, the purpose of the Terms of Reference (ToR) is to provide municipalities with a framework for hiring qualified professionals and/or monitoring their work, by clearly defining the assignments, key tasks and deliverables for spatial plans and zoning maps, as well as ensuring that the environmental concerns are appropriately integrated into the municipal spatial planning strategy, implementation measures and monitoring processes. The ToR for the SEA consultancy is ultimatelyintended to support the work of the local and central level institutions in drafting the SEA's for spatial plans.

Guidelines for drafting Strategic Environmental Assessment

Abstract: These guidelines are resulting from MuSPP’s experience in supporting spatial and environmental planning processes in Kosovo. They aim to assist central and local governments by providing recommendations for the implementation of Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) in Kosovo, following the adoption of the 2001 SEA European Union Directive into Kosovo's legislation, and in particular regarding spatial planning processes. This guidance is arranged in a way that will encourage users to consider the environmental impacts of plans and programmes in specific spatial planning contexts. Findings from the first SEA processes in Kosovo have set the basis for the guidelines which offer lessons relevant to other communities, both in Kosovo and the Balkan region, as they consider different options for environmental planning and integrated development planning. Further to the plan evaluation, the environmental assessment in the context of Kosovo offers opportunities to raise awareness to environmental considerations in planning. It also encompasses a range of monitoring and mitigation measures to be further developed by the municipalities when implementing their local development plans as part of an integrated approach to effective sustainable development planning. To support these guidelines the following examples of SEA’s reports are also included: SEA Report for MDP of Mamushë/Mamuša SEA Report for MDP of Partesh/Parteš SEA Report for MDP of Prizren/Prizreni

Local Solid Waste Management Plan_The case of Municipality of Hani i Elezit-Elez Han

Abstract: Local Solid Waste Management Plan (LSWMP) represents another compulsory planning document deriving from the Law on Waste N°. 04/L-060 and to be aligned with the National Strategy on Waste Management (2012-2021) and related Action Plan for the period 2013-2017. As result the Municipality of Hani i Elezit/ Elez Han with support from MuSPP revised their LSWMP to conform with the requirements of the new legislation. Therefore, this LSWMP provides an approach that would serve as an example for Kosovo municipalities in drafting and revising their respective plans. The plan analyzes the current situation, sets the objectives and defines improvement and support measures for waste collection, management and treatment (incl. recycling and composting), funding options (incl. cost recovery plan) and ultimately sets some regulation guidelines and respective enforcement. In such way it also serves as a guide for reducing, handling, and disposing of waste during construction, renovation, or land-clearing projects.
