COURSE DESCRIPTION

Welcome! This is an interactive e-learning platform specifically designed to facilitate learning for professionals.

AGRA formalized and adopted its Environment and Social (E&S) Policy, committing to comply with the applicable requirements or standard in managing risks associated with its work in this area. This commitment was approved by the Senior Management in November 2019 and took form of the AGRA’s Environmental and Social Management System – the policy and its operational manual.

This e-learning course forms part of AGRA’s commitment to the implementation of its (E&S) Policy by developing the capacities of its staff and partners to manage risk.
