Integrating Into the Global Marketplace, July 24 - August 4, 2006
The "Integrating Into the Global Marketplace" Program will examine policies and management issues that affect how developing countries can be integrated into the global marketplace in ways that enhance economic growth and reduce poverty. Topics covered include investment and technology transfer, international trade and economic growth, tax policy and administration, market regulation, and public-private partnerships.

enable you to:
- Understand the economic problems in your own country at the structural and sectoral level
- Draw insights from the latest research and policy findings on how to improve technology transfer and increase trade and investment
- Design and implement effective strategies for policy and regulatory reform
- Build public-private partnerships to improve the competitiveness of firms in the global marketplace

“I was very impressed with the valuable information I learned on poverty reduction and alleviation strategies, which is quite relevant to my job in Jordan as Secretary General for the Commission on Macroeconomics and Health. The ability to share experiences and knowledge with other attendees was priceless.”
