APPENDIX 910 steps <strong>for</strong> SEAInternational best practice suggests <strong>the</strong> following sequence of steps which help guide each SEA,allowing <strong>for</strong> enough room to tailor its design to <strong>the</strong> specific programme, plan or policy, as well ascontext and circumstances.The NCEA uses <strong>the</strong>se steps as guidance, a checklist, and not as a fixed framework <strong>for</strong> SEA.Depending on <strong>the</strong> specific characteristics of an SEA, some steps may be skipped, o<strong>the</strong>rs may berepeated, or <strong>the</strong>y may be followed in a different order or at <strong>the</strong> same time.Particularly in cases where questions remain regarding <strong>the</strong> planning process, such as in <strong>the</strong> SEAs<strong>for</strong> <strong>the</strong> EKN’s <strong>IWRM</strong> support programme (see section 5.1) and <strong>the</strong> proposed SEAs <strong>for</strong> catchmentplans (5.3), <strong>the</strong>se steps are very helpful and provide structure where that may be lacking in <strong>the</strong>planning process. When that process is much clearer, such as in <strong>the</strong> case <strong>for</strong> <strong>the</strong> Master Plan, <strong>the</strong>ToR <strong>for</strong> <strong>the</strong> SEA can be much more detailed and tailored to <strong>the</strong> situation. In such a case, <strong>the</strong> tensteps have less added value.Within <strong>the</strong> contact of this report, <strong>the</strong> NCEA used <strong>the</strong>se steps to structure <strong>the</strong> ToR in 5.1 and in5.3as well:Screening1. Reach consensus on <strong>the</strong> need <strong>for</strong> SEA and its link to planning2. Find stakeholders and announce start of <strong>the</strong> plan process<strong>Scoping</strong>3. Develop a shared vision on problems/objectives/alternatives4. Do a consistency analysis: new versus existing objectives5. Set ToR <strong>for</strong> <strong>the</strong> technical assessment, based on scoping resultsAssessment6. Assess <strong>the</strong> impacts of alternatives and document this7. Organise (independent) quality assurance of documentationDecision making8. Discuss with all stakeholders <strong>the</strong> alternative to prefer9. Motivate <strong>the</strong> (political) decision in writingMonitoring10.
