Third course of the INDECOPI-UNCTAD/COMPAL School on Competition and Consumer Protection on Protection of Financial Consumers in Latin America


23 - 27 May 2016
Lima
, Peru

In the framework of UNCTAD's COMPAL Programme, UNCTAD in partnership with the Peruvian Competition and Consumer Protection Agency (INDECOPI) is organising the third course of the INDECOPI-COMPAL School on the Protection of Financial Consumers in Latin America. This one week face-to-face course will bring together officials from over twelve Latin American beneficiary countries, and will be complemented by national replication in their home agencies.

UNCTAD's COMPAL Programme targets regional integration across competition and consumer protection matters among its members. One of the most successful member agencies, INDECOPI, provides courses to its civil servants through its own national school. The INDECOPI-COMPAL School aims to provide officials at the operational level of its beneficiary countries with high quality training on issues of common interest. It aims at ensuring a multiplier effect through training of trainers and is also committed to permanent and continuous evaluation of its impact in fostering sustainable development.
 
The third course of the INDECOPI-COMPAL School will be devoted to the consumer protection aspects of e-commerce. The course will have two phases: a one week, face-to-face intensive training course from 23 to 27 May 2016 in Lima, and a distance learning phase to ensure replication of the course by participating officials in their home agencies.
 
Each beneficiary may send up to two officials. Participating countries are: Chile, Costa Rica, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, El Salvador, Guatemala, Nicaragua, Mexico, Panama, Paraguay, Peru and Uruguay.
 
The one week intensive course will be delivered by: Dr. Carmen Ligia Valderrama, Professor at Externado University of Colombia and expert in consumer protection and Latin American Law; Mr. Micael Panzera, United States Federal Trade Commission; Bryan Masmela, United States Postal Service, and Mr. Julià Guimerà, Catalan Consumer Protection Agency.
 
The distance learning phase will be supervised by two national experts in consumer protection and pedagogy to ensure participants can replicate the course.
 
All participants will be expected to learn both theory and practice, share the experiences they have had in their home agencies and replicate the face-to-face course.
