WHO strengthens implementing partners’ ESS capacity as part of the World-Bank-funded SHARE project
17 July 2025, Port Sudan, Sudan – The World Health Organization (WHO) is steadfast in its commitment to upholding environmental and social safeguards (ESS) and implementing the Environmental and Social Commitment Plan across all stages of the World Bank-supported Sudan Health Assistance and Response to Emergencies (SHARE) project.
Between 22 and 24 June, WHO conducted a training workshop in Port Sudan to strengthen the capacity of implementing partners to identify, mitigate and manage potential environmental and social risks. The training brought together partner ESS focal points and staff from participating hospitals. Sessions focused on the objectives and scope of relevant ESS instruments, risk identification and mitigation measures, stakeholder roles and responsibilities, incident and accident reporting mechanisms and implementation timelines.
