Story

A comprehensive training programme to equip National Research Center staff with the knowledge and skills to apply results-based management (RBM) principles in supporting National Research Center programming processes. This course provided a mix of knowledge and skills for advancing the implementation of RBM and strengthening the quality of programming at the National Research Center. Participants have become knowledgeable about RBM and its practical application. This course highlighted the extent to which the implementation of RBM techniques has an impact on work processes. It demonstrates how RBM contributes to national efforts for achieving desired results and shapes approaches to programme design, implementation and management for results in work development.

The training also provided an introduction about environmental assessment and key topics in the environmental field. Environmental science is a field that systematically studies the interactions of individuals with the environment in order to solve complex problems.
