ABSTRACT

This last chapter pulls together the material from the rest of the book. It considers what makes a ‘good’ SEA and how to ensure that an SEA is done well. It revisits some of the case studies discussed previously to reflect on the SEA process in its entirety. It then discusses the resources needed for SEA. Three SEA models are presented – SEA in 1, 10 and 100 person-days – to give an indication of what is feasible, and what can most usefully be prioritized. Capacity building for SEA is then discussed. The chapter concludes with a brief discussion of future directions in SEA.
