Training-of-Trainers for Eco-industrial Parks (EIPs) in Egypt
In the framework of the Global Eco-industrial Parks Programme (GEIPP)– Egypt, UNIDO organized a new training programme to provide capacity building to technical experts who can support mainstreaming of the EIP approach at industrial parks in Egypt. The training programme consists of 3 in-class training courses and 1 on-job-training.
The first course titled “EIP approach, its benefits, and best practices from around the world” took place on the 12th and 13th of July 2023, and it introduced the EIP concept, the EIP international framework, EIP development stages, and presented both local and international case studies. It also trained the participants on using some of the UNIDO EIP tools such as UNIDO EIP assessment tool and UNIDO EIP selection tool.
The course was attended by a variety of experts from environmental consultancies, governmental agencies, academia, and industrial park operators.
GEIPP #Egypt is implemented under the framework of the Global Eco-Industrial Parks Programme (#GEIPP) in Developing and Transition Countries currently, funded by the Swiss State Secretariat for Economic Affairs (#SECO), and implemented by #UNIDO in cooperation with the Ministry of Trade and Industry. The training course was organized by a consulting consortium consisting of #SHiFTERRA Consultancy (Egypt) and AIH #Econogistics (South Africa).
