7. Project Environment Workshop Learning Objectives • Describe why it is important to incorporate environmental considerations into Project Design, M&E: Mod 2 Ses 1

8. Workshop Learning Objectives • Integrate environmental indicators into the project strategy and every step of the project cycle. Mod 2 Ses 1

9. Workshop Learning Objectives • Select and measure environmental indicators (be S.M.A.R.T.) Mod 2 Ses 1

10. Workshop Learning Objectives • Demonstrate that integrating environmental monitoring into your project does not have to be difficult, costly, or time-consuming. • Do you have additional objectives? Mod 2 Ses 1

11. Methodology • Brief presentations + action learning • Discuss and test M&E concepts, policies and tools • Share experiences • Participant feedback and evaluation Mod 2 Ses 1

12. Workshop Ground Rules • Please turn off your cell phone ringer. • Do not make or receive cell phone calls during a session. • What other rules should apply? Mod 2 Ses 1

18. Module Key Concepts 1. Disaster response and recovery projects can impact the environment both positively and negatively. 2. Disaster response and recovery projects need to be assessed and designed to ensure that environmental issues are identified, negative environmental impacts are minimized, and positive environmental opportunities are supported. Mod 2 Ses 1

19. Module Key Concepts (cont.) 3. Monitoring of disaster response and recovery projects needs to include indicators that identify and measure achievement of or changes to for specific environment-related objectives or sub-objectives. 4. These projects need to be evaluated to determine if the environment-related actions were appropriate and what their impact was, and to draw lessons for future projects. Mod 2 Ses 1

20. Indicators What are “indicators” as applied to M&E? • Indicators provide clear statements of the precise information needed to assess whether proposed changes have occurred. • Indicators can be quantitative (numeric) or qualitative (descriptive observations). Mod 2 Ses 1

21. Exercise: Your Project • Within each small group, identify one project that one of your group members has worked on related to humanitarian assistance. • Identify one activity of that project that had an environmental consequence, either positive or negative. • As a group, identify one indicator of environmental impact and one measurement you might take to gauge the impact.
