The workshop training themed "WTO, TRIPS and the Struggle for Food Security," aimed to develop the capacity of selected South Asian NGOs in the conduct of research, advocacy communication and related activities. It also aimed to develop networking of Asia Pacific Research Network (APRN) member NGOs in South Asia with other NGOs working in various South Asian countries.
The event was a combination of inputs and insights from the participants. The first day was devoted to inputs and conceptual discussions on the WTO, TRIPS and Food Security. The second day was dedicated to small group workshops. The third day was designed for actual skills training, formulation of strategy and future planning. The event produced statements from the workshop groups and these statements were presented to a press briefing held in Dhaka on the fourth day. This press briefing also included participation from the Bangladesh Minister of Agriculture. The workshop training in advocacy is part of the series of skills training conducted by APRN in relation to advocacy on the WTO. The same training was held in Malaysia in 2000 and in Indonesia in February 2001. This training is a continuation of the series and was meant to provide opportunity for greater participation of South Asians. The event was jointly organized by the APRN, South Asian Network on Food, Ecology and Culture (SANFEC) and IBON Foundation and hosted by UBINIG. IBON and UBINIG are members of the APRN. Like it?
