The Nexus Environmental Assessment Tool (NEAT+) is a rapid and simple project-level environmental screening tool for humanitarian operations and has been specifically designed to quickly identify issues of environmental concern to make emergency and recovery interventions more sustainable. Application of NEAT+ enables better understanding oft he environmental risks and their mitigation measures in the development of humanitarian project proposals, which has been required more by institutional donors.

The training of trainers is intended to train selected staffs of humanitarian organisations to apply NEAT+ confidently and being able to organize and provide NEAT+ basic trainings in applying NEAT+ to staff and partners in their context. After the training, the new Trainers should be enabled to support local teams by incorporating results / outcomes of the NEAT+ screening into the project plan.

The training uses learning-by-doing approach for gaining a deep understanding of computational tools like NEAT+  with participants bringing information about their planned or ongoing projects where NEAT+ can be applied, e.g. in areas such as WASH, Shelter, Food Security, and Livelihood. The training will comprise technical sessions on NEAT+, i.e., Rural NEAT+ and Urban NEAT+, as well as training design and facilitation session. Support in creating their own training materials tailored to their organizations or target groups will be provided.
