The Swedish International Development Agency’s (SIDA) International Training Programme (ITP) is organizing the training on ‘Strategic Environmental Assessment’. The Part 1 of this training will be held from 31 October – 18 November, 2016 in Göteborg and Stockholm, Sweden and the Part 2 training in May-June, 2017 in one of the participating countries.
Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) will serve as a tool for analysis of environmental impacts and the integration of environmental considerations in strategic planning and decision making. The programme aims at contributing to sustainable development, by supporting capacity building in Strategic Environmental Assessment and integrating environment in strategic planning, decision making and implementation initiated or promoted by the participants.
Additionally, this particular SEA programme has an energy focus, specifically targetting participants from organisations and agencies within the energy sector.
The programme offers support for your organisation to strengthen, adapt and maintain capacity to implement SEA. Participants will take part of the latest developments in SEA, supported by Swedish experts and resource persons. They will also develop a network of colleagues from Sweden and other countries, and enhance knowledge about new working methods.
The programme is organised by Niras Natura AB in collaboration with the Centre for Environment and Sustainability (GMV) at the University of Gothenburg and Chalmers University of Technology.

Programme Objectives
The objective of the programme is to strengthen SEA capacity in the participants’ organisations. The programme will support each participant in initiating and developing an “SEA project” that will strengthen the use of SEA in planning processes that she/he is involved in.
In the long term, the programme goal is to increase the integration of environmental and sustainability considerations into planning and decision-making processes in the participants’ countries. The sustainability perspective on SEA addresses the interlinking of social, ecological and economic aspects, including aspects of poverty alleviation and the rights of the poor.
