FAQ
Common questions, answered
What exactly is an ESIA and do I need one?
An Environmental and Social Impact Assessment evaluates the effects your project may have on people and the environment before work begins. In Ghana, most developments — from roads and estates to factories and farms — require ESIA screening or a full study under EPA regulations. We confirm what your project needs and handle the process for you.
How long does a typical assessment take?
It depends on project size and season. A simple screening may take a few weeks, while a full ESIA with field seasons and stakeholder engagement typically runs a few months. You receive a clear schedule with milestones before we start — and we keep regulators moving on your behalf.
Do you work outside Accra?
Yes. We deliver assignments across all regions of Ghana and mobilise local experts close to your project site to control costs and timelines.
What does an engagement cost?
Every assignment is scoped individually based on location, scale and regulatory requirements. Request a consultation and we will provide a clear, itemised proposal — no hidden charges.
