7.0 REVISIONS Per 22 CFR 216.3(a)(9), when ongoing programs are revised to incorporate a change in scope or nature, a determination will be made as to whether such a change may have an environmental impact not previously assessed. If so, this environmental analysis will be amended to cover the changes. Per ADS 204, it is the responsibility of the USAID COR to keep the MEO/REA and BEO(s) informed of any new information or changes in the activity that might require revision of this environmental analysis and threshold determination. 8.0 ANNEXES A Summary of climate risk management screening for construction activities under USAID/Malawi SEED General Background: The USAID/Malawi SEED activity aims to keep girls in school to decrease HIV new infections. The SEED activities are as follows: Construction of prefabricated classroom in Blantyre, Zomba, Lilongwe and Mzuzu cities where up to 34 schools will be expanded with the installations of these classrooms. Construction of new classroom secondary schools throughout the country where at least 200 new schools will be constructed. The purpose of this Climate Risk Management (CRM) screening is to identify climate related risks to these construction activities now and in the future to make this activity more resilient to both future and current climate variability and change. These construction activities, like construction activities throughout Malawi, are sensitive to climate variability and change. To limit the risks of climate variability and change on investment, a CRM USAID’s screening was conducted. Through planning processes already in place, and being implemented by the activity, many climate risks have already been identified and are being addressed. The CRM screening will help identify further risks, and options to limit the impacts of those risks. Further, as stated in the infrastructure annex for CRM screening (), ‘engineering analysis preceding design activities must include consideration of climate change and its potential impacts on the location (siting), functionality, and sustainability of resulting infrastructure and infrastructure services. Such analysis must include identification of relevant data sets and gaps, review of local building standards and codes for adequacy, and determination of safety factors or other measures of uncertainty that will be carried through design. The results of this analysis, including risks identified and how they are addressed, shall be documented.’ This screening is part of implementing the Reference for ADS Chapter 201, Risks Management for USAID ‘Climate Projects and Activities.’
