About this Course

An additional form of support that Clean Air Asia is able to provide towards promoting the Guidance Framework and providing technical guidance and support to cities and countries that have expressed interest and commitment to achieve better air quality. A standardized set of training courses has been developed to:

• Provide an overview of the Guidance Framework, as a recognized guidance document on air quality management (AQM) in Asia;
• Provide tools that can be used to evaluate existing AQM programs using the roadmap and indicators recommended in the Guidance Framework; and
• Build the capacity of cities and countries to implement activities towards improving AQM.

Target Audience

Policy-makers at the national and city levels, implementers (i.e., Technical Officers, Engineers, Environment Specialists, etc.), and other stakeholders (including NGOs, research institutions, members of the academe) involved in AQM design, planning, and implementation
