The guide provides a summary of the activities involved in environmental screening, and wider appraisal processes. It does not contain all the answers, but it will help you to find out where to get more detailed advice. It contains: guidance on completing the simplified screening note and complying with the new procedures, which require the screening note to be submitted at the same time as a project header sheet for interventions over £1 million; new checklists  identifying key environmental opportunities and risks – covering a range of aid instruments, from projects and programmes to sectoral approaches and budget support; and answers to common questions  and sources of further information. This guide will help you mainstream issues of environmental sustainability into all DFID’s development activities with the aim of achieving sustainable poverty reduction. DFID will continue to keep guidance on environmental appraisal under regular review.
