The Organisation of Eastern Caribbean States (OECS) Secretariat launched an in-house DevInfo training exercise for staff on 26 May 2009 at its headquarters in Saint Lucia.
The training exercise represents one of several ongoing and planned initiatives designed to address the statistical/data needs of the Secretariat and the OECS Member States. This exercise corresponds to the ongoing implementation of the OECS adaptation
of DevInfo (OECSInfo), as well as an extension of the |
|
|
first training workshop convened in January 2009, during which DevInfo facilitators were provided by the CARICOM Secretariat and financial support was received from UNICEF.
|
As intended, participants of the January 2009 training workshop are now functioning as trainers and facilitators, with the intention of promoting and facilitating the use and awareness of the DevInfo software by OECS staff members.
The objective of the in-house exercise was to expand institutional capacity regarding the use and application of the User Module of the software, and to help achieve a wider appreciation within the
Secretariat of the utility of DevInfo. In this way, it is anticipated that this initiative and other ongoing and planned statistical |
 |
|
initiatives will promote and facilitate the practice of evidence-based decision-making and policy formulation by the Secretariat and Member States.
