The Eswatini Environment Authority is participating in a three-day capacity-building training on Social and Environmental Standards (SES), Social and Environmental Risk Management (SRM), Stakeholder Response Mechanisms, and Gender Mainstreaming, convened by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) Eswatini.
The workshop is equipping participants with practical knowledge and tools to identify, assess and manage environmental and social risks, strengthen stakeholder engagement and grievance mechanisms, integrate gender-responsive approaches and promote inclusive, sustainable project implementation.
As the national institution mandated to oversee Environmental Impact Assessments (EIAs), environmental compliance and the implementation of several UNDP-supported environmental projects, this training is directly relevant to the Authority’s work. It strengthens our capacity to ensure that development initiatives not only protect the environment but also uphold social safeguards, respect community rights and align with national and international best practices.
By strengthening our institutional capacity, we continue to advance our commitment to environmentally sound, socially inclusive and sustainable development for the people of Eswatini.
