DPAD completes training in the Philippines

On 21-22 August 2013 in Manila, Philippines, DESA/DPAD staff held a working meeting and took part in the final workshop to discuss the results of policy simulations. These results will form the basis for policy notes on issues ranging from financing scenarios for MDG achievement, impact of social programmes, agricultural price shocks, and others. This marked the successful completion of training activities in the Philippines, but DESA/DPAD will continue to provide technical backstopping to the participating institutions if needed to ensure the sustainability of capacities.
