Technical Advisory Services (TAS) will host the Danida Development Days, a 3-day workshop on key issues in poverty reduction. The objective of the Danida Development Days is to share knowledge and lessons learned from priority areas in development co-operation and furthermore to strengthen dialogue and networking between Danida and the Danish Development Community.

 

Participants will be TAS staff, staff at embassies and various departments in the Danish Ministry of Foreign Affairs, consultants, researchers and NGOs in Denmark, as well as international resource persons.

 

Each day will start with a keynote speech, followed by discussion. Keynote speeches will be open to a larger audience.

 

Venue: Eigtveds Pakhus (Ministry of Foreign Affairs).

 

Each day will have a number of workshops in three parallel tracks. These have been prepared in collaboration between Danida, the Danish resource base and international resource persons. Please find the programme attached. Details of the programme are still subject to change. 

 

Registration: To participate please send an email to [email protected] stating your name, organisation and workshop preference(s), not later than June 1, 2007.

 

You are welcome to register for more than one workshop. However, please note that, due to limited space and a wish to accommodate as many diverse groups as possible in each workshop, we may have to impose limitations on participation.
