Recent and ongoing projects

Mission:

The Insuco – Egnon Consulting group was mandated by Expertise France to carry out the environmental and social due diligence associated with the construction of the museum of the epic of the Amazons and Kings of Danhomé and the rehabilitation of the four surrounding palatial sites (Guézo, Glélé, Gbéhanzin and Agoli-Agbo). The specific objectives were the following:

• To develop an Environmental and Social Impact Assessment (ESIA), an Environmental and Social Management Plan (ESMP), a Resettlement Action Plan (RAP) and a Cultural and Physical Resources Management Plan (CPRMP), including an archaeological study, for each sub-project;
• Establish a Stakeholder Engagement Plan (SEP) for the two sub-projects, including a participatory and consultative mechanism adapted from the start of the service, in order to ensure the social acceptance of the project and the information of the populations throughout the implementation of the project.

The consortium coordinated the actions of two teams, an environmental and social team to carry out the ESIAs, and a team of archaeologists in charge of the archaeological study included in the Cultural and Physical Resource Management Plans, themselves integrated into the ESIAs.

​
