ENVIRONMENTAL AND SOCIAL SAFEGUARDS
FOR DONOR FUNDED PROJECTS
Course Overview
Environmental and social sustainability, including
climate change resilience, is fundamental to the
achievement of development outcomes and must
be systematically mainstreamed into development
programs. Environmental and social screening
and assessment processes for projects have
now become standard practice in development
cooperation and are usually required by national
regulatory frameworks and multilateral and
bilateral donors.
There is therefore need to strengthen
environmental and social sustainability, including
climate resilience. Potential adverse impacts
and risks need to be avoided or minimized,
and where possible mitigated. Governments
need to demonstrate to Development Partners
and stakeholders that we have the appropriate
safeguard measures in place for managing donor
funded projects.

Objectives
By the end of the training participants should be
able to;
• Enhance the environmental and social
sustainability of a proposed project by
analyzing the environmental and social
benefits and costs of the project
• Identify and manage environmental social
risks that could be associated with a
proposed project by screening the possible
environmental and social costs of an
intervention
• Apply national and donor environmental and
social safeguard policies and standards to
enhance sustainability and good outcomes
from projects
• Review of safeguard documents and other
projectdocumentstoensurethatenvironmental
issues have been adequately addressed
and that the project is in compliance with
the Safeguard Policies, particularly those on

Environmental Assessment
