The Workshop offers specialized training to capital-based government officials with direct responsibility in the preparation and/or analysis of notifications under the Agreement on Agriculture.  The objectives are:

1)  to enable Members to fulfil their notification obligations in a timely manner in line with the transparency requirements prescribed by the Agreement and the notification procedures adopted by the Committee on Agriculture (CoA); and

2) to increase the capacity of Members to participate in the review of notifications in the CoA notably by enabling them to examine other Members' notifications.

The Workshop combines lectures from AGCD officials, practical exercises and case studies and provides a platform to discuss specific technical issues Members may face in preparing and analysing agriculture notifications.
