Global Health

Coming Soon: "Bureau for Global Health Environmental Management:
Mitigation and Monitoring" Course

The environmental consequences of USAID-funded activities must be identified and considered by both USAID and the host country prior to final decisions to commence activities. Per USAID’s legal and policy framework, Agreement Officer’s Representatives/Contracting Officer’s Representatives (AORs/CORs), Activity Managers, and other stakeholders are required to ensure that adequate environmental safeguards are adopted for USAID projects and activities. The Bureau for Global Health (GH) is responsible for ensuring that environmental requirements are integrated into project design and throughout the project lifecycle.

The upcoming GH Environmental Management: Mitigation and Monitoring course builds upon the lessons introduced in the GH Environmental Management Process Training. The Environmental Management Process course provides GH stakeholders with an introduction to the GH environmental management process and a roadmap for how to plan and implement health programs conformant with the Agency’s environmental legal and policy requirements. The Mitigation and Monitoring course will focus on monitoring, which includes the mitigation of environmental and human health impacts of GH activities and the ongoing evaluation of mitigation effectiveness.

Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to do the following:

  • Identify applicable legal and policy guidelines for GH environmental impact mitigation and monitoring activities
  • Explain the importance of planning, implementing, and evaluating the effectiveness of environmental mitigation and monitoring measures
  • Describe the main steps in environmental mitigation and monitoring, including required documentation
  • Select mitigation and monitoring measures in response to the potential environmental and human health impacts of planned project activities

The course is expected to be published online in the coming weeks. Stay tuned for a formal announcement, including  enrollment instructions and continuous learning points (CLPs) information.
