Forty-ninth regional course on key issues on the international economic agenda
The UNCTAD secretariat is pleased to announce that the next regional course on key issues on the international economic agenda, which is designed for countries of Eastern Europe, will be hosted by the Faculty of Economics, Saints Cyril and Methodius University of Skopje, with the support of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of North Macedonia. The course will be held from 3 to 14 July 2023.
The course will focus on the links between trade, investment, finance and development, including in the context of international trade negotiations. Its aims are as follows:
- To enhance understanding of the relationship between these areas and their link to country development strategies;
- To provide participants with knowledge and skills that will prepare them for trade negotiations, as well as to design and implement trade and development policies. These tools are designed to meet the needs and interests of their countries.
The syllabus will draw on the perspective of UNCTAD, its analytical work and lessons learned from its technical cooperation activities and will be enriched by the competence and expertise of representatives of the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe. Experts from North Macedonia will share national experiences in promoting and managing trade, investment, finance and development, among other topics.
The course is aimed primarily at mid-level government officers in ministries and institutions dealing with trade, investment, finance, technology and development issues who are involved in the formulation and implementation of national trade and development policies. Depending on the availability of places, other applicants, such as university academics, may be considered.
The course will be given in English.
