With the group training
coming to an end, we
held the third general
meeting on 14 May. At
this meeting, theparticipants and IISEE,and JICA staff gathered
together to discuss theimprovement of thetraining. Due to the
3rd general meeting
COVID-19, we mainly
conducted this year's training through remote lectures. There
were concerns about whether the training was satisfactory ornot, but the feedback from the trainees was quite positive.
However, someone said that they did not have enough time tounderstand the content of the lectures and that there were notenough opportunities for onsite training. There is still time forindividual study, etc. IISEE will do its best to meet the needs of theparticipants within the remaining training period.
