The Green Recovery and Reconstruction Toolkit (GRRT) is a training program designed to increase awareness and knowledge of environmentally sustainable disaster response approaches. The GRRT is made of ten modules which are designed to be delivered in a one-day training workshop. Each GRRT module package includes a trainer's guide; training materials for a workshop; PowerPoint slides; a technical content paper that provides background information for the training; and additional resources for further study. 

The Green Recovery and Reconstruction Toolkit (GRRT) is a series of 10 standalone modules that address a wide range of topics and sectors vital to disaster response.

Each module consists of the following:

1. A content paper, presenting the key information about the topic
2. Trainer's guide for training planners and facilitators on a proposed workshop agenda, participant learning objectives, key points for presentations, interactive learning activities, and PowerPoint slides to support the workshop
3. All the materials necessary for a one-day workshop on the topic (except for Module 1, which is limited to a 60-minute overview session.)

Each topic presents a range of green recovery and reconstruction principles and practices. In addition, several modules combine to form a "suite" of workshops with a focus on a broader application. Most participants in a GRRT workshop would benefit from a combination of the introductory module, which presents the context of green recovery and reconstruction, and one or more sectoral modules, e.g., construction, water/sanitation, and livelihoods.

For senior managers, project managers, and others involved in project design in any sector, the workshop on Module 2 is recommended. This workshop provides guidance on how project design, monitoring, and evaluation can better incorporate and address environmental issues within the typical project cycle.

GRRT Module 3 builds upon Module 2, focusing specifically on assessment tools that can be used to determine the environmental impact of humanitarian projects regardless of the type of project or sector.
