Environmental and Social Impact Management
Environmental and Social Impact Assessment (ESIA), Environmental and Social Management Plan (ESMP) and Resettlement Action Plans (RAP) are key tools of sustainable development. They take all the social, economical and environmental factors into consideration, focusing on the most critical ones. Not only does this seminar present the different phases, tools and steps of the ESIA but it also deals with practical cases. It also covers the best practices, tools and approaches to prepare and evaluate resettlement documents required by the development partners. Participants will join case studies in Morocco that integrate the main social and environmental problems that can be observed in developing and emerging countries.
