Q.In many cases, the local residents affected by the project may have no access to the NEXI website. How can these people obtain information on the project?
A.
The Exhibit 1 (5) of the Guidelines defines the principle of environmental and social considerations required for the project, and stipulates “sufficient consultations with stakeholders, such as local residents, must be conducted via disclosure of information from an early stage when alternative proposals for the project plans may be examined.” NEXI ensures adequate disclosure of information made by the project sponsor to the local residents.
