REGULAR TRAINING COURSE
In accordance with the AFoCO training plan for 2021, the Secretariat would like to invite trainees for the Capacity Building Workshop on “Payments for Ecosystem Services: how PES serves as a new financial instrument in UN Decade on Ecosystem Restoration 2021-2030” to be held virtually from 19 to 23 July 2021. The workshop aims to foster greater understanding and enhance capacities of AFoCO Member Countries in the development of PES projects to be further considered as a country component under the organization’s PES program/initiative at the regional level.
In this regard, we kindly request each Member Country to nominate two (2) government staff/officers (a) who have mandates for PES in policies and regulations, and/or (b) who currently manage and implement the PES projects in the country more than three (3) years. To obtain the Certification of Completion, the nominees are expected to deliver presentations
and post-training assignments, i.e., country reports and action plans, leading to the project concept note development. A nominal training allowance will be provided for the two assigned participants. Additional staff interested in participating in the lectures, discussions, and group work as authorized through respective domestic regulations are also encouraged to be awarded appropriate participation certificates.
In order to facilitate the preparation for the training, may we kindly request the submission of nominees’/participants’ information to Ryang Soozin (e-mail: [email protected]) by 21 May 2021, including the list of participants following the attached template (Annex-1).
For more information, please refer to the Course Guidelines (Annex-2).
