National Legal Stakeholders Training Workshop in Environmental Law
Nazareth, Ethiopia, 6 - 7 November 2006

The two days national workshop was attended by over 40 judicial professionals. The main objective of the environmental law training workshop was to sensitize and build the capacity of the decision-makers in governmental organizations and other stakeholders who are at the forefront in the implementation and enforcement of environmental law. NGOs engaged in the dissemination of environmental awareness were also beneficiaries of the programme. The workshop also intended to promote new concepts of environmental management such as issues of corporate social responsibility, the use of economic instruments to change behavior instead of relying on command and control alone, and public interest litigation and access to justice in environmental matters.
