IEPSL concludes intensive five-day training on Environmental Impact Assessment

THE Institute of Environmental Professionals Sri Lanka (IEPSL) successfully concluded its comprehensive Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) Intensive Training Course from 10 to 14 November at GAP HQ, Wijerama Mawatha, Colombo 07.

- 

Organised in collaboration with GAP Hand with the blessings and guidance of the Central Environmental Authority (CEA), this landmark five-day program brought together 42 passionate professionals from diverse sectors—the public service, private industry, academia, and civil society organisations—all united by a common commitment to strengthen Sri Lankars capacity in environmental assessment, impact management, and sustainable development.

The training was inaugurated by IFPSL President Asela Iddawela, with inspiring addresses from Central Environmental Authority Director General Kapila Rajapaksha, and Dr. Pradeep Gajanayake on behalf of Prof. Rajith Dissanayake, Founder of GAP HO, who collectively emphasised the transformative role of EIA as both a regulatory instrument and a decision-making compass guiding the nation toward environmentally sound and socially inclusive development.

The curriculum was thoughtfully designed as a comprehensive learning journey, guiding participants through the entire environmental assessment process from inception to completion.
