In-Situ Training Programmes

Right from the establishment of INIA, it was envisaged and planned that the organisational experience acquired from the Malta-based training programmes should be transplanted overseas as "in-situ" programmes modelled on the same pattern, with a complement of local staff in addition to invited lecturers and those from INIA. The obvious advantage of the "in-situ" programmes is that the training can be specifically tailored as appropriate to, and rooted in, local socio-economic conditions and needs.

It is also expected that in each locality the programme will be regularly repeated and even further developed with local initiative and resources, so that the numbers of both trainees and trainers will rapidly multiply.

The first "in-situ" training programme was launched in Cape Town, South Africa, in 1995. Over the years, the number of "in-situ" training programmes have increased and so far, INIA has held regional or national training programmes in the following countries: Barbados, Belarus, Brazil, People's Republic of China (Anshan City, Beijing, Hangzhou and Huariou), Egypt, Ghana, India (Hyderabad, Pune and Tirupati), Kuwait, Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, Malaysia, Mexico, Panama, Philippines, Qatar, Russia, Singapore, Thailand, Tunisia, Turkey and the United Arab Emirates..
