The Environmental Impact Assessment for Devil's Claw, henceforth referred to as Devil's Claw Environmental Impact Assessment (DCEIA), aims to identify and assess environmental and social impacts (positive and negative) affecting the devil's claw resource base and its beneficiaries as a result of ongoing devil's claw harvesting and trade and the Indigenous Natural Products Producer and Processor Organisations Sub-Activity implemented under the Millennium Challenge Account Namibia (MCA-N INP PPO Sub-Activity). The DCEIA provides the basis for an Environmental Management Plan for Devil's Claw, referred to as Devil's Claw Environmental Management Plan (DCEMP) which is presented as a separate stand-alone companion document (Krugmann, 2010).
