PAPAIS - Creation of a Model Partnership for the Effective Management of the Social Impact of Environmental Policy

PAPAIS aims to establish and pilot a training package and model partnership (comprising social, entrepreneurial and institutional players) to encourage more effective management of the impact of sustainable environmental policies.The project will actively promote debate amongst the primary target groups, to comprise regional decision-makers, managers of SMEs, officials and directors of both public and private enterprises. Debate will focus upon the need to establish standard methodology regarding Social Impact Assessment (SIA) and the need to evaluate social and economic impact following the introduction of environmental policies.The partnership will further investigate best practice in the field of both environmental risk & conflict management and will undergo comparison of results across partner countries with the final aim of publishing these results. Further collation, preparation and analysis of associated documentation will take place to create a final electronic bibliography (checklist) for production in IT, EN & ES.A series of organisational models, strategies and practices will be established to inform upon potential procedures and methodologies able to further encourage the active participation of citizens in the decision-making process. A further skills analysis will be undertaken to detect the training needs, for the primary target group (in working with the public).To meet the identified training needs a flexible (adaptable) modular training model will be introduced to contribute to the re-qualification of the target sector (to be produced on both CD-Rom and via a project website to encourage ODL). Tutor support is also expected to be available upon the release of the final product.Piloting of the training is to take place, with findings influencing the final project result (use will be made of the Delphi technique in assessing the outcomes of the pilot exercise).Awareness-raising activities are planned to include a series of seminars & workshops and the circulation aforementioned printed and electronic materials.
