Attendants:

The training Workshop was hosted by ESCWA at the Kempinski Hotel - Amman, where a total of 12 participants attended.

The meeting hosted the ICP Global Manager and nine NA experts, representing all nine participating countries. Egypt and Sudans’ representatives did not attend the meeting since they had the opportunity to have the same training during Africa’s fourth ICP Regional Workshop. However, the nonattendance of the twelfth country’s (Bahrain) representative was noted due to organizational issues hindering their expected active participation.
