Capacity strengthening environment organisations
For the Netherlands Commission for Environmental Assessment, I had the pleasure to be part of a team to strengthen capacities of establishing environment organisations in different countries in the central African region (i.e. Burundi, Rwanda, Congo, Cameroon, Gabon, Central African Republic and Democratic Republic of Congo). The goal of these organisations is to promote (strategic) environmental assessments in their countries and to increase capacities of involved actors in this matter.
The capacity strengthening trajectory lasted several years. I first participated in training and coaching of trainers to establish training teams with each organisation. These teams were supported in developing and facilitating trainings on environmental assessment for national actors. Later on I assisted in supporting the environmental organisations in developing project proposals, writing monitoring reports, doing financial management. Lastly, I facilitated a few trainings on resource mobilisation.
