Korea Institute for Development Strategy(KDS) successfully conducted ‘1st Training & Consulting in Sri Lanka(July 20~24, 2015)’ and ‘2nd Training & Consulting in Sri Lanka(Oct 5~9, 2015)’ in Colombo, Sri Lanka for statistical officials working in the fields of SNA and Sampling. Each training was designed for providing on-the-job education and consulting sessions. The trainings were prepared so as to share Korean expertise on statistical development, strengthen human capacity of DCS Sri Lanka, and build stronger partnership between the two countries, Korea and Sri Lanka.
The total of 40 trainees who participated in 1st Training & Consulting also joined 2nd Training & Consulting conducted in October which enhanced the efficiency and continuity of education.
