📋 Tender Overview
Entity attached to the Minam strengthens its presence in a strategic area of the country, key to economic and environmental development.
The Environmental Evaluation and Control Agency (OEFA), an entity attached to the Ministry of Environment, inaugurated an operations center in Chancay with the aim of strengthening the surveillance of the environmental impact associated with economic activities in the area. The purpose is to guarantee a harmonic coexistence between economic growth and environmental care.
The inauguration was in charge of the Minister of the Environment, Juan Carlos Castro Vargas, and the President of the Board of Directors of the OEFA, Juan Narciso Chavez. The district mayor of Chancay, Juan Alvarez Andrade, also participated among other authorities.
The head of the Minam stressed that Chancay is consolidating as a new economic development axis in the country, which generates new opportunities and important environmental challenges. Our duty as a State is to anticipate these challenges, so the installation of this center will strengthen environmental inspection and emergency care in a timely manner, he said.
He added that its sector maintains a policy of approach to the population: We are not only an entity that retains and protects ultranza; we seek the conservation and protection of our resources so that local populations and communities have a development opportunity from conservation, said the head of the Minam.
For its part, Narciso Chavez commented that environmental impacts, mostly related to fishing and industry sectors, demand a constant and active presence of the OEFA in Chancay to guarantee adequate and sustainable environmental management. He emphasized that the actions of professionals will be constant and committed.
It is a territory that faces important challenges, and the presence of this office in the Chancay district will significantly reduce the response times of the inspection, improve the operational capacity of our teams and, above all, as I pointed out above, be much closer to citizens and local authorities, promoting an audit with territorial approach, he said.
