- 16 October 2007 –
Government
officials and academics from 20 countries in the Africa region will be trained
by UNCTAD in the use of multidisciplinary approaches to trade and development
issues at a 22 October-9 November course in
Dakar
,
Senegal
.
"Key
Issues on the International Economic Agenda" has been jointly organized by
UNCTAD, the United Nations Economic Commission for
Africa
(UNECA) and the Senegalese Ministry of Trade, Consumer Affairs and Handicrafts.
The Ministry is hosting the event with government support.
Participants
will study the links between trade, investment, and development.
They will discuss strategies for making these links effective. And the
trade and development policies of African countries will be evaluated.
The
course syllabus has been designed to draw on UNCTAD's expertise in trade and
development, financial flows and macroeconomic management, productive
capacities, structural adjustment, investment and technology, trade
facilitation, and e-commerce and development.
The 24 participants will learn about UNCTAD's analytical and research
work. They also will hear
presentations from UNECA and from Senegalese institutions, namely the Centre
d'Etudes de Politiques pour le Développement (CEPOD); the Senegal
Investment Agency (APIX) and the Ministry of Telecommunications and Postal
Services.
The
course is part of a series that began following UNCTAD X in February 2000, when
the organization was requested to strengthen the understanding of decision
makers from developing countries on key development issues within UNCTAD's
fields of competence. This month's
Dakar
course is the third given for the African region.
