An intersectoral training package for environment and health experts

This training manual is designed to support and facilitate countries dealing with environment and health issues, by using different examples of training courses. Materials are based on the best available knowledge and evidence, are as comprehensive as possible and complied under the coordination of the WHO Regional Office for Europe. It can be adapted to local environment and health problems and used with a broad variety of training audiences.

The primary objective of this manual was to allow prospective trainers to use the materials effectively in further capacity building activities. The contents of this manual are also supplemented by slides, exercises and case studies currently available electronically upon request at bortotb@who.int. These will provide useful further information and resources relevant to capacity building.
