More in-depth capacity building programmes can also be customized to
partners' specific needs.
The aim of our programs is ultimately to train participants in-depth so
that they are in a position to further disseminate the tools,
methodologies, skills and derived analysis to their colleagues and
constituencies, including enterprises seeking potential export markets.
To this end, we aim to build long- term relationship with participating
institutions and regularly follow up our training with refreshed course
material and new courses.
Our workshops are conducted with small groups and include discussions
as well as interactive exercises to improve learning absorption and to
make it easier for course content to be adapted to the specific needs of
our partner institutions.
Our capacity building activities also endeavour to improve networking
and information exchange between the private and public sectors and to
foster effective cooperation among various institutions with an interest
in international trade.
The costs for Market Analysis and Research capacity building workshops /
seminars depend on their length and content. Currently we are also
developing training material that can be delivered via web-based
distance learning platforms.
