The COMBO+ Programme, led by the Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS) in partnership with the Foundation for Biodiversity Conservation (BIOFUND) and the National Directorate for Environment (DINAB), held between 29 and 30 June 2023 in Maputo City, the training of technicians of the Ministry of Land and Environment (MTA) on the Monitoring and Post-Evaluation Plans in the context of Environmental Management and Biodiversity Offset Management Plans (BOMP) (Module 5), which was attended by 28 participants.
The training was provided by a technician from the Portuguese Environment Agency (APA), Rita Fernandes, who has over 20 years of experience in Environmental Licensing and Post-evaluation processes, and aimed to strengthen the MTA technicians with solid knowledge on the Monitoring and Post-Evaluation Plans in the context of Environmental Management and the BOMPs, helping to create internal procedures to properly assess and follow-up documents of this type that are submitted to them.
It should be noted that this training is part of the intensive training for MTA technicians, which began in October 2021 and has so far, with the total of five modules, reached over 100 technicians from the environment sector.
