USAID staff and Implementing Partners can now take the "Bureau for Global Health (GH) Environmental Management: Mitigation and Monitoring" course through the GH eLearning Center. This course builds upon the lessons introduced in the GH Environmental Management Process Training, while focusing on the mitigation of the environmental and human health impacts of GH activities, as well as monitoring the application and effectiveness of mitigation measures.

The objective of the course is to ensure that learners are able to:

• Identify applicable legal and policy guidelines for GH environmental impact mitigation measures 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 measures and monitoring activities in response to the potential environmental and human health impacts of planned project activities

Learners may complete the course in one sitting or over multiple sessions at their own pace. In order to pass the course, learners must complete the final assessment and receive a score of 85% or higher. This course has been submitted for Continuous Learning Point (CLP) review. Stay tuned! In the meantime, users can log on and take the course and final assessment through this link. New users can register for GH eLearning Center accounts by clicking here.
