Are you ready for EMMR season?

The end of the fiscal year is approaching, and it’s once again time for Implementing Partners to prepare and submit their annual Environmental Mitigation and Monitoring Reports (EMMRs) to their Agreement Officer’s Representatives/Contracting Officer’s Representatives (AORs/CORs) for review. The EMMR is a tool that provides the AOR/COR with sufficient information to confirm that environmental mitigation measures are implemented and effective. EMMRs are typically due within 30-90 days after the end of the fiscal year. The Bureau for Global Health (GH) environmental program provides a range of resources on EMMRs, including two EMMR webinar sessions this October with helpful information for GH AORs/CORs and Activity Managers. Click through to register today!

There are some simple steps that AORs/CORs can take to ensure that an effective EMMR process is in place. First, review the governing Initial Environmental Examination (IEE) and the Environmental Mitigation and Monitoring Plan (EMMP) to re-familiarize yourself with applicable environmental requirements, including the EMMR due date. Currently, the standard due date for EMMRs is 45 days following the end of the fiscal year, but some IEEs may have different reporting due dates. GH recommends that AORs/CORs consistently and proactively reach out to Implementing Partner staff to ensure that they are aware of EMMR requirements and best practices.

GH AORs/CORs (or Activity Managers) should consult the following resources related to the EMMR process:

  1. EMMR section of the GH IEE Bureau Operating Procedure (BOP)*
  2. Monitoring and Oversight* section of the GH Environmental Management Portal*
  3. EMMR Factsheet*
  4. GH Mitigation and Monitoring Course

*USAID.gov account access required.  

Additionally, the GH environmental program will be holding the following two webinar sessions on the EMMR process for GH AORs/CORs and Activity Managers:

GH EMMR Webinar Session 1
Date: October 24, 2018
