The training workshop on practical application of strategic environmental assessment (SEA) in Ukraine is organized by the Ministry of Ecology and Natural Resources of Ukraine in cooperation with the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE) and the project "Partnership for Local Economic Development and Democratic Governance" (PLEDDG) within the framework of the EU-funded Programme 'Greening the Economies in the Eastern Neighborhood' (EaP-GREEN). The logistical support is provided by Law-Making and Information Technologies Institute NGO (Ukraine).
The two-day workshop will gather up to 35 participants and is targeted at the representatives of the regional (Oblast) and local (city) planning authorities of four Oblasts of Ukraine, i.e., Vinnytska, Zaporizhska, Ivano-Frankivska, and Poltavska Oblasts, that are part of the PLEDDG, as well as at the environmental and health authorities from the regional administration of these four oblasts.
The objectives of the workshop are:

- to discuss the content of the Draft SEA Guidelines prepared within the framework of EaP-GREEN and to gather feedback on its feasibility within the national context; and
- to enhance the capacities of the regional environmental and health authorities and regional and local planning authorities from four Oblasts of Ukraine involved in the PLEDDG's SEA component in undertaking the scoping as per the Law of Ukraine on SEA and Draft SEA Guidelines.
