INSIGHT, Winter '96 Edition
NEW PUBLICATIONS:
IETC's First Technical Publication Now Available
In our Centre's endeavor to design and implement demand-driven and
result- oriented training programmes, last year we initiated a study of
the training needs of government officials and other decision-makers in
the field of environmental technology assessment. A report, published as
the first volume of an IETC Technical Publication Series, is now available
that contains the results of this study's questionnaire. 1500
questionnaires were sent out in late January 1995, and 510 completed
replies were received by 13 April of the same year. Responses were
solicited from individuals and institutions representing target countries
for prospective training interventions, and also from those in
industrialized countries knowledgeable in the training needs of developing
and transition countries. An expert group meeting at IETC critically
discussed the draft of this publication (see also INSIGHT, Fall 1995), and
more information was added after a peer review of the document. The
publication is available upon request, free of charge, from IETC's Osaka
Office.
