First course of the INDECOPI-UNCTAD/COMPAL School on Competition and Consumer Protection on E-commerce in Latin America


15 - 19 June 2015
Escuela Nacional del INDECOPI
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 first course of the INDECOPI-COMPAL School on the consumer protection aspects of e-commerce. 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 fifteen Latin American 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 first 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 15 to 19 June 2015 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, Colombia, Costa Rica, Dominican Republic, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Mexico, Paraguay, Peru and Uruguay
 
The one week intensive course will be delivered by three professors: Dr Daniel Peña, Professor at Externado Universtiy of Colombia and expert in consumer protection and Latin American Law; Dr Agustín Madrid, Professor at the University Pedro Olavide and expert in European Consumer and Internet Law; and Mr Michael Panzera, official at the United States Federal Trade Commission and expert in international consumer protection.
 
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.
 
Expected outcomes include:
- one week face-to-face course
- all officials trained in consumer protection and e-commerce, with emphasis in Latin America
- exchange of experiences
- replication of course to follow suit
