Department of Indian Affairs and Northern Development (DIAND) / NWT CIMP and Audit Working Group - NWT Cumulative Impact Monitoring Program (CIMP) and Audit (1998 - ongoing)
DPRA has prepared a five-year work plan and budget for the NWT Cumulative Impact Monitoring Program (CIMP) and Audit. These initiatives designed to meet requirements of the Gwich'in, Sahtu, and Tlicho land claim agreements, and of the Mackenzie Valley Resource Management Act (MVRMA) and to support informed resource management decisions throughout the NWT. We have also provided assistance with community consultation meetings and with stakeholder workshops in 1998 and 2002. Strategic advice has been given on the development and refinement of the draft Terms of Reference for the initial Audit, and the Audit process. DPRA has provided the Working Group with advice on how to initiate efforts with respect to an evaluation of the preliminary state of knowledge with respect to the 'Human Health and Community Wellness' Valued Component, and a draft 'State of Knowledge' report was prepared. Facilitation support has been provided at Working Group and Audit Sub-Committee meetings.
