2. Today, one i s seeing a country with a strong macroeconomic performance-in terms of GDP growth and low inflation-buoyant prices of its main mineral exports copper and gold, widening current account and fiscal surpluses, and has seen an appreciating nominal and real exchange rate for the Togrog vis-a-vis the U.S.dollar. The associated gains in economic well-being have occurred while at the same time Mongolia has, by and large, protected the high levels o f human development that are a legacy o f i t s socialist period. The biggest turnaround over the past five years has been in the tertiaryhervices sector in Mongolia, especially retail and wholesale trade, transport, communications and financial services, where average value-added growth has been at around 8 percent per annum during 2001-2004 and 9.1 percent in 2005. Foreign direct investment has been rapidly growing in mining and construction activities. The average share o f FDI in Mongolia’s GDP o f 5.2 percent for the 10-year period (1996-2005) was higher than the average for the East Asia region, and more than three times that for the low-income country group to which it belongs.
This paper presents the results of the AMDAL Reform and Decentralization Project, an 18-month engagement by the World Bank in support of an Indonesian Govemment initiated review of its EIA systems and procedures. The AMDAL Project, which started in October 2004, focused on the core issue of adapting the existing regulatory regime for EIA in Indonesia to political and administrative decentralization-a process that began with the introduction of far-reaching regional autonomy laws in January 2001. One of the central themes was the need to identify the opportunities afforded by decentralization in improving the efficiency, effectiveness, and impact of AMDAL. The outcomes of the AMDAL Project are not intended to be prescriptive but rather to inform discussion and stimulate comment among key stakeholders. The AMDAL System changed with the introduction of regional autonomy laws. Critically speaking, authority for AMDAL review and approval was transferred de facto to Indonesia's 400-plus local governments while the role of the provinces was significantly weakened. This had the effect of placing the bulk of the responsibility for EIA-Indonesia's only widely recognized environmental management tool-where there is least capacity. An initial wait-and-see policy at the Ministry of Environment or Kementerian Lingkungan Hidup (KLH), particularly in the lead up to reforms to Regional Autonomy Law 2211999, was gradually replaced by the realization that a new contract on EIA with the regions was necessary. A strong focus on improving the climate for investment, following the economic crisis years of the late 1990s, has also put increasing pressure on KLH to deliver greater efficiencies by streamlining EIA procedures.
