In congratulating the participants, Mr. Moore said: “I am convinced you have acquired skills that you will take back home for your respective countries' and people's interests.” Mr. Moore went on to say that while resource constraints limited the availability of places on the training courses, such activities had a meaningful impact on capacity building.
