Building capacity for sustainable impact in the Drin River Basin!

26 September 2025

Staff and stakeholders who are participating at the Global Environment Facility Drin II project are taking a very specific training to strengthen understanding and acquire the necessary tools for the application of the United Nations Development Programme - UNDP Social and Environmental Standards (SES) across the full project cycle.

Key takeaways for participants:

• Confidently apply Social and Environmental standards across project cycles
• Identify and mitigate risks such as gender inequality, biodiversity loss, pollution, and impacts on vulnerable groups and
• Strengthen awareness of international and regional obligations around European Union (EU) environmental assessment directives.

Such trainings ensure that projects such as the Drin II project are are not only impactful but also socially and environmentally responsible.
