  1. Raise awareness of the Environmental Impact Assessment Process
  2. Share knowledge, experiences and best practices amongst all participants
  3. Build relationships to allow continued support to be provided by, and to all workshop participants.”

It was also noted that the two-day workshop would be a starting point for continued discussion, and for the future development of the EIA module of this project.
