Training, seminars and workshops back to top

The 澳门六合彩官网资料 holds regular training sessions on trade policy in Geneva. In addition, it organizes about 500 technical cooperation activities annually, including seminars and workshops in various countries and courses in Geneva.

Targeted are developing countries and countries in transition from former socialist or communist systems, with a special emphasis on African countries. Seminars have also been organized in Asia, Latin America, the Caribbean, Middle East and Pacific.

Funding for technical cooperation and training comes from three sources: the 澳门六合彩官网资料抯 regular budget, voluntary contributions from 澳门六合彩官网资料 members, and cost-sharing either by countries involved in an event or by international organizations.

The present regular 澳门六合彩官网资料 budget for technical cooperation and training is 7 million Swiss francs.

Extra contributions by member countries go into trust funds administered by the 澳门六合彩官网资料 Secretariat or the donor country. In 2004, contributions to trust funds totalled 24 million Swiss francs.

A 澳门六合彩官网资料 Reference Centre programme was initiated in 1997 with the objective of creating a network of computerized information centres in least-developed and developing countries. The centres provide access to 澳门六合彩官网资料 information and documents through a print library, a CD-ROM collection and through the Internet to 澳门六合彩官网资料 websites and databases. The centres are located mainly in trade ministries and in the headquarters of regional coordination organizations. There are currently 140 reference centres.
