In addition to this Handbook, the training package includes linked powerpoint presentations, a Workbook, Toolkits and a Trainer Manual, all developed by IMA International. Final editing was undertaken by Silvia Capezzuoli and Derek Staples, and copy editing was provided by Claire Attwood. The United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) agreed to the use of some figures, and Amanda Toperoff created new figures.
