The ToT scheme will invite 3 representatives from each beneficiary country and it shall result in the country-specific training package and SEA/EIA training strategies. Altogether three ToT events shall be organized during the project, while in between the ToT trainings the trainers should conduct trainings at the local level in their countries.
