In order to make the SEA practicable, the Environmental Protection Administration plan to provide every organizations information on SEA as referral through the making of the “Government Strategy Environmental Assessment Operation Manual”. It is in order to demand all the government departments to take environmental protection into consideration while making some strategic decisions, and promote the country’s sustainable development. On the other hand, in order to increase the understanding of the SEA’s processes and methods for the organizations, we will execute and hold seminars on government strategy environmental assessment. Through the seminars, we will promote SEA operation in a large scale, and provide chances for communications between governments different departments.
