2000s health came on the agenda.

What is procedural effectiveness?
Effectiveness is made up of procedural, substantive, transcribe and normative.

18 EHIA reports of which 3 are for power plants.

Seven criteria:
Policy and procedures
Institutional practice 
EHIA integration in planning
FInancial funds
Stakeholder involvement
Clarity of EHIA as evidence in decision making

Some projects start construction before approval of EHIA has been given.

Based on this work An eighth criteria should be added in relation to timing enforcement.
