Course Introduction

Welcome to the course module on strategic environmental assessment (SEA) - a learning resource that explains SEA theory, practice and methodology.

You can see the structure of the course, and move around the course modules, by clicking on the expandable menu at the left of each page. Within this drop down menu you can navigate through all the sections and pages by placing the mouse over the menu and then by clicking on a page you would like to view. This then shows all the content relevant to the subject heading of that page.

In addition to written text on the subject each page includes other forms of media, including:

  • Videos - from subject matter experts providing their viewpoints;
  • Tables - providing further information or examples; and
  • Illustrations- interactive (with more information when various elements are clicked) and static.

SEA is a rapidly evolving topic. This module provides a core of structured learning materials. In addition, the SEA-Wiki provides information about SEA legislation, case studies, references and other more changeable aspects of SEA.

  1. I am very happy that I can now be able to access very important info on line. As a univerisy student (University of Nairobi-Kenya) undertaking a research on SEA in context of the NBI, this course has been very instrumental. I am also a distant student with UNITAR and equally this is very good for my reading. This is a very good form of capacity building for African EIA practitioners who are quite green in the area of SEA. People, can you also be able to organize cheap workshops for African Students like myself? Thank you and keep it up. Lugard

  2. Lugard, its indeed very delighting to have you on line and we can have alot to share. I work for the National Environment Management Authority in Uganda and i'm coordinating the development of SEA guidelines for Uganda. There are alot of activities within NBI and i believe we can share experiences and enhance each other.

  4. The course would be useful as the planning and policy are becoming more uniform globally due to UN agreements, such kind of course would be useful in near future. Jeeva

  6. Hi Francisco, Thanks for your offer. We are looking into it. Ideally, any translation could actually easily be incorporated into this website with the new multi-lingual plug-in that we have developed. Then it is very easy to switch between languages. But we need to discuss whether this proposal is practical and we can support it. We will be in touch if we decide to go further. Regards Brendan Barrett UNU Media Studio
