CLEWS Summer School | (smr 3168) (12-30 June 2017)

Administration

Description

The Summer School on Modelling Tools for Sustainable Development has two major objectives. It seeks to deepen the modeling skills of government officials and academics to inform sustainable development policies through more than 100 hours of intensive training sessions combining analysts from governments and academics. Government officials from countries participating in UNDESA and UNDP capacity development projects on modeling tools will interact with graduate students and researchers interested in contributing to the practice of providing rigorous evidence for decision making on sustainable development policies.
