The overall objective of the courses is to widen participants' understanding of trade policy matters, the multilateral trading system, international trade law and the functioning of the °ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¹ÙÍø×ÊÁÏ. It is expected that the knowledge acquired during these courses will allow participants to contribute to the promotion of a more active participation of their countries in the work of the °ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¹ÙÍø×ÊÁÏ. Throughout the three-month training, officials will become acquainted, through lectures, debates, attendance at °ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¹ÙÍø×ÊÁÏ meetings and simulation exercises, with virtually all the issues dealt with in the framework of the °ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¹ÙÍø×ÊÁÏ. Visits to other international organizations located in Geneva will also allow them to become acquainted with trade-related aspects of the work conducted by these organizations.
Dr. Rana invited participants to actively take part in the forthcoming training and to develop and strengthen a solid network of contacts by attending °ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¹ÙÍø×ÊÁÏ meetings and discussing with delegates, °ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¹ÙÍø×ÊÁÏ experts, and representatives of other organizations.
The 56
participants come from developing and least-developed countries, as well as
transition economies and countries in the process of accession to the °ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¹ÙÍø×ÊÁÏ.
The 27th and 28th TPC are the two first such courses to be organized in 2004
at the °ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¹ÙÍø×ÊÁÏ Headquarters. Two additional 3-month TPCs will be organized in
Geneva during the course of the year, one in French and the other one in
Spanish. Several other specialized courses will complement the training
activities conducted by the ITTC at the °ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¹ÙÍø×ÊÁÏ Headquarters this year.
