Building MEAL capacities in the Caribbean: strengthening existing capacity and developing technical expertise in MEAL
Painel
About the Event
This panel discussion is intended to provide participants with information about MEAL courses which are currently being offered by various tertiary level institutions within the Caribbean Region; showcasing how training delivery has adapted to the context of the COVID-19 Pandemic and addressing how the regional offerings have evolved to compete with the growing international online offerings. It is also expected to build awareness, inspire, and increase the desire of the participants to pursue further studies in the area of RBM/MEAL.
Additionally, through this panel discussion, it is hoped that tertiary level institutions as well as other institutions that provide RBM/MEAL training will become more aware of the courses that each is delivering. In turn, it is envisaged that course developers will be motivated to review their course offerings and consider partnering with other institutions to reduce duplication and to expand the menu of RBM/MEAL courses that are currently available to all in the Caribbean Region.
