ESCWA is organizing a five-day workshop to help Somali government officials use international indices to inform policy and national development planning. The training is designed for officials working in planning, public policy, statistics and performance monitoring.
Participants use the Indices Simulators for Policymaking in the Arab Region (ISPAR) prepared by ESCWA in practical exercises to interpret index results, analyse performance and explore policy scenarios. The Training of Trainers approach equips them to pass these skills on to colleagues within their institutions.
Regional peer learning complements the practical training. The Head of the Competitiveness and International Indicators Division at the Ministry of Planning and International Cooperation in Jordan and the Director of the National Competitiveness Office in Oman share their countries’ experience in using international indices for national planning.
