REPORT ON TRAINING:  TRADE POLICY COURSES (TPCs) 2000
As indicated in document WT/COMTD/W/82, "the Training Division has started reviewing
the formulation of the TPCs' objectives, building on the experience of past courses, with a view to
ensuring that such objectives can effectively be measured". The enclosed document presents the
results of this review.
Though some elements contained in the document have already been introduced in the
courses, on a trial basis, others will be incorporated in the programme of the courses to be held in the
second part of 2001. It is the Secretariat's intention to make the revised approach fully operational for
the cycle of six courses which will start in January 2002.
