Also required are: basic knowledge of Microsoft Excel, very good knowledge of English, and familiarity with government/ministry structures responsible for setting regulations.
All selected participants will be exempt from course fees, and will receive the course CD/DVD free-of-charge. Top graduates will become part of the UNCTAD NTM consultancy roster, and may be considered for future data collection or related work.
