The authorities as well as other stakeholders at the national and sub-national levels play an
important role in SEA/EIA implementation in each ECRAN beneficiary country. Therefore it is
important to create a core group of the trainers in the ECRAN countries to ensure the knowledge
transfer to the sub-national levels within individual countries. For this purpose, the ‘Training of
trainers’ scheme has been developed within ECRAN Environmental Assessment Working Group,
which consists of altogether three (ToT) events inviting 3 trainers from each country. In between the
ToT workshops the trainers are supposed to conduct training(s) in their countries. The national
