Who selected the site of the project 1 l l Yes No 2 Is the project sited near conservation worthy ecosystems, flora or fauna (e.g protected areas, wetlands, forests, sites of historical or cultural importance) which may be impacted negatively as a result of project activities? . 3 Is the project sited near major water bodies (rivers, lake, lagoons, wetland, etc)? 4 Is the project sited near main domesticfcommercial use such as borehole, water well, spring etc? 5. Is the project sited in an area prone to soil erosion 6. Are there people who will be displaced/removed from the project site? 7. Will the project lead to migration into the area? 8. Is the community in agreement about the project site? = PROJECT INPUTS 9. Will the project require large volumes of construction materials to be taken from local sources (eg gravel, stones, water, timber, fire wood)? 10 Will project require use of heavy machinery and equipment ? 11 Will project require significant levels of service amenities to support the workforce? 12 Are the chemicals/oils be used in the project approved for use in Uganda? PROJECT ACTIVITIES 13. Will the construction/implementation activities lead to degradation or loss of quality of any environmental component such as forests, air, soils, water, wildlife, fish, plain, swamp/wetland, etc? 14.

Avoid dumpy or water logged sites and wetland areas * Look at other alternatives and weigh the advantages against disadvantages of different sites * Avoid termite infested areas. Where there are no alternatives take measures against termites in the designs and during construction. Consider other existing structures on site in relation to your new project Incorporate indigenous customs and building techniques in project designs if possible * Consider adapting layouts to fit natural patterns on project sites * Remember to clear only the affected site and not to cut trees when not necessary * Ensure a holistic design approach, taking into account the operations of the existing building, buildings to be added and support facilities like water supply, sanitation and the environment Base design criteria and selection of materials according to local conditions and availability of resources Design for maximum efficiency in materials and energy use Construction Stage:
