This document provides a draft needs assessment for capacity building and consulting services for the Federal Ministry of Environment in Nigeria. It identifies four key areas of interest: renewable energy, climate change, oil spill, and an unspecified fourth area. For renewable energy, it outlines objectives and activities for capacity building through training programs at the federal and state levels. It also proposes capacity building workshops and conferences. The document concludes by stating this skeletal plan could serve as a guide for further implementation and impact assessment.
