Objectives
By the stage, the associates have finished two national training
sessions, two distance learning events, one regional training session in
Thailand and one international training session in Brazil and have
understood the complexity of sustainable development issues under
national, regional and international contexts using case analysis
methodology. This section of LEAD-China national training aims for
Associates to understand and examine the processes of planning and
decision making in the framework of sustainable development. Associates
will not only be exposed to various components or tools of planning and
decision making but also have a chance to understand the existing
institutional arrangement. The purpose is to analyze how the decision
process and structure affect both decisions and implementation and to see
how the basic management and planning tools can be redesigned to best
achieve the objectives of the sustainable development at project,
national, regional, and international levels.
The specific objectives of this session include:
- Understand and examine the decision-making tools and process, i.e.
impact assessments, in the premise of the sustainable development.

to them.
