Aicha El HabibHigh Commissionof Planning
The Course in which I enjoyed the most taking part within the training was Development Economics, not only because of the capacity of the high level scholar who animated the course to explain complex notions and share deep analyses, but also because of the richness of perspectives, which tackle economic growth and its link to public investment (infrastructure, health, education), employment, innovation, trade etc.
The participation to the training in economic analysis and management has allowed me to advance my technical knowledge in various topics such as overlapping-generations’ class of models and Computable General Equilibrium models. The main takeaways would be the lifelong relationships I built with the high level experts, as well as the knowledge I gained in contemporary economic issues, which has driven me to enroll in a PHD.
Testimonials
This training was an excellent opportunity to refresh my memory and review contemporary theoretical concepts, learn and question high level experts and practitioners, align to current and most cutting edge issues. Exchanging with a cohort working in diverse sectors has deeply enriched the debates.
Aziza LakrouneMinistry of Employment and Social Affairs
This training allowed me to broaden my understanding of current macroeconomic issues, explore new fields of expertise, and most of all, to share my perspective with other executives from different institutions.
