TRAINING

The study will set the basis for establishing an ICZM Plan for the North Coast of Egypt.
The training activity will enhance the empowerment of coastal managers for using the project results as the baseline of upcoming coastal management plans. The ACCNDP partners will learn about the most relevant techniques developed during the project. This activity encompasses the organization of two training sessions during December 2016.
