Turin, Italy
 
The two-week course is designed for staff from governments, do-
nor agencies, international organizations, the World Bank (WB), 
the private sector and PVOs/NGOs involved in health in WB client 
countries and government-initiated health sector reforms in WB 
client countries. In addition, the course targets trainers from 
regionally-based capacity building and research institutions as 
well as academics and researchers working in the areas of 
health, public administration or social sector reform.
 
This face to face course is based on the use of highly interac-
tive participatory training techniques. It will be held at the 
ILO International Training Center of the ILO in Turin, Italy. 
The course is extremely intensive and consists of presentations, 
readings, case examples and group work. The working language of 
the course is English and therefore participants are expected to 
have excellent English language skills.
 
Participants will be charged a course fee of $1,500 and should 
expect to incur additional expenses locally of $1,450-$1,500 in-
cluding accommodation and meals. Participants are also responsi-
ble for purchasing their own airline tickets.
