  1. YMEP Environmental Training • Overview of Training Program • Four Modules: • USAID Environmental Guidelines Purpose and Overview • Environmental Screening • Enhanced Environmental Assessment Process • Mitigation and Monitoring & Evaluation • Discussion of why USAID conducts environmental screening of all its projects and the basic framework to prevent and/or mitigate “significant” environmental consequences from US sponsored international assistance. • Establishing a threshold determination of a project’s potential for significant environmental consequences, i.e., the IEE mechanism. • Use of more intensive environmental assessment procedures in cases where an IEE resulted in a positive determination or further evaluation is necessary (e.g., SEAs, PERSUAPS. • Managing environmental concerns to avoid or allay environmental risk and generating and disseminating information which demonstrates the effectiveness of the protective measures implemented.

  2. Pre training Questions What is your role with respect to environmental due diligence for USAID sponsored programs? Have you ever been involved in a project that might have an environmental impact ? How can environmental concerns from US development assistance be minimized to prevent potential negative impacts and/or consequences to human health or nature?
