The overall goal of the workshop was to strengthen environmentally sound design and management (ESDM) of USAID‐funded activities in Senegal by assuring that participants have the motivation, knowledge and skills necessary to:
(1) achieve environmental compliance over life‐of‐project; and
(2) otherwise integrate environmental considerations in activity design and management through all aspects of implementation and close-out to improve overall project acceptance and sustainability.
The workshop was conducted in English, with limited ability for French-language questions and follow-up conversations. A limited number of training materials will also be provided in French.
