About the Small-Scale Guidelines & the ENCAP Visual Field Guides
The Small-Scale Guidelines are Africa Bureau’s principal source of sector-specific environmental guidance. For each development sector addressed, the Guidelines brief the potential, typical adverse impacts for activities in this sector, provide environmental good practice guidance for sector program design, environmental mitigation and monitoring guidance, and an annotated bibliography of web-accessible resources.
The 1st edition of the Guidelines was published in 1996. For the 2nd edition, the Guidelines were completely updated and expanded. The current 2nd edition is a work in progress. Modules are updated and new modules added on a rolling basis. Check this page to be assured of using the most recent version.
