This document provides an overview of the structure and content for designing and presenting an environmental impact assessment training course. The course design involves conducting a training needs analysis in two parts, designing training modules that cover the EIA process from screening through decision-making and follow up, and gathering local materials. The training modules will then be delivered, evaluated, and reviewed.
