Document Actions

Number of participants:

The Seminar will engage between six and eight participants, covering one or two countries, depending on the number of participants proposed by the country office. The options are as follows:

5 to 7 national counterparts and 1 focal point from one country, which would allow for the Seminar to focus on country-specific issues; and,
3 national counterparts and 1 focal point from two countries so that the participants could exchange experience from their respective context.

Selection of participants:

The UNDP Country Office will recommend participants from counterpart institutions who would have to meet the profile criteria as described below. The recommendation should describe briefly the reasons for the selection and include the following information for each participant:

Name of Participant;
Official Title;
Organisation/Institution;
Type of activities of the organisation/institution;
Summary of current functions/areas of responsibility of the participant;
Passport number;

Having a strong interest in learning how IT can be implemented in support of development activities; and,

The APDIP Focal Point:

The role of the APDIP Focal Point will be critical to ensure the appropriate linkage of the IT proposals with UNDP activities in the country.
