WTO
members in their communicated priorities and requests to the WTO
Secretariat have expressed a clear preference for sustainable capacity
building. In response, the Secretariat has developed a number of
trade-training capacity building activities which it plans to carry
out in 2003 and beyond. The activities differ in scope and
duration and are planned in various regions of the world. They
are partly designed to enable the WTO to study the best and the most
effective and efficient ways to build trade capacity in the regions
through nurturing existing and creating new trade training and
advising capacity.
The
seminar on 20 March will kick off the programme. It will not be a
training-of-trainers workshop, although a skills-based TOT
demonstration is part of the seminar's programme.
