ISSUES & CHALLANGES
a.
Specific course content needs prerequisite knowledge and computer
skills → not all participants have it → decreasing available time for
the main topic.
b.
Little has been done to investigate whether the participants apply
the knowledge from the training when they go back to their countries.
c.
Gaps between training demands and supply: The training is usually
organized from the supply side without knowing the demand → need
to pay attention on the demand side so the training will be more
useful → the participant can apply statistics for policy analysis in
their countries.
d.
There is a need for improving the different types of training to
handle current issues.
e.
The challenge of introducing cost-effective methodology in the
training → e-learning and distance learning.
f.
Budget constraints → The need for sustainable collaboration with
international institutions for supporting the trainings.
