Chiang Mai, Thailand, 6-7 October 2022 ‒ Twenty-one new National Ozone Unit (NOU) staff (female 11, male 10) in the South-Asia (SA) and Southeast Asia (SEA) Networks met on 6-7 October 2022 in Chiang Mai, Thailand to learn how to connect their day-to-day activities with the legacy of the Montreal Protocol.
The two-day training included engaging interactive sessions for both participants and trainers. New NOU staff were trained on ozone depletion, Montreal Protocol overview, structure, bodies, and control measures, National Framework for implementation of the Montreal Protocol, enforcement, Multilateral Fund projects, Country Programme and Article 7 data reporting, working with stakeholders and alternatives to ozone depleting substances (ODS) and hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs). The training comprised of a series of standardized training tools prepared by UNEP CAP including concise background documents, presentations, handouts, checklists for NOU staff, quizzes, crosswords, innovative activity exercises, evaluation documents, guides for additional work by NOU staff before and after training sessions, and lists of useful additional resources.
The new NOU staff training for the SA and SEA Networks was organized by UNEP OzonAction Compliance Assistance Programme (CAP) as part of its approved 2022 Work Programme under the Multilateral Fund.
