Capacity building refers to
activities that improve an organisation’s ability to
achieve its mission or a person’s ability to define and
realize her/his goals and/or to do her/his job more
effectively. The Centre encourages its staff to
build their capacity in various forms e.g. through Friday
Seminars, Participation, etc.
Recently three staff members of the
Centre are selected for e-learning courses of the World
Bank Institute.
WBI’s E-Learning Courses
World Bank Institute (WBI) offers
e-learning courses periodically for civil society and
government officials on a number of sectors and themes.
Simi T.B. was selected to
participate in the Trade, Growth and Poverty
course. The Course was for approx 2 months i.e from 29
October to 22 December 2006. The course explored some of
the analytical and policy issues related to the impact of
trade liberalization on economic growth and poverty
reduction. The course included modules drawn from Bank
studies, WBI-commissioned overview papers, and non-Bank
seminal works, including critical perspectives on the
relationship among trade, development, and poverty. The
course also made extensive use of case studies from around
the world, dedicating two modules to reviewing country
evidence and simulations. This course was very informative
and useful.
Prashmita Ghosh and
Suprita Jayaram were selected to participate in the
online Trade and Gender course, which was
delivered from 29 October to 17 November 2006. The course
aimed to understand how the linkages between trade
liberalisation, economic growth and poverty affect gender
issues and the consequences they may have on women. Such a
global interactive platform enabled a rich discussion on
international development issues and gender related
problems.
