1.        Background
 

The Gozo Regional Development Authority (GRDA) has been entrusted with ensuring that Regional Impact Assessment Studies (RIAS) are carried out whenever a policy, strategy, action plan or regulation of major development is drawn up and will influence Gozo. RIAs will be key in ensuring that Gozo’s specific characteristics and needs are factored in any proposed intervention and that potential impacts of the proposed intervention are assessed within the context of Gozo’s regional development strategy. This will give the opportunity to Gozitan of not only being informed but also allow for greater sharing of knowledge and expertise from the people who will be impacted most by the proposal.
