The authorities as well as other stakeholders at the national and sub-national levels play an
important role in SEA 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 workshop on SEA is the first
