Part I : What is SEA?

For submission of PPP to a decision-making body, the proponent has a duty and obligation to complete a SEA and submit the SEA as an integral part of the PPP for decision making.

When detailed assessments are required for complicated PPPs, the proponent might employ environmental professionals to conduct SEA. But under such circumstances, the proponent would still need to own the responsibility to ensure full integration of environmental considerations into the PPPs under consideration.
