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, Federative Republic of Brazil, People’s Republic of China, Egypt, Republic of Ghana, Republic of India, State of Kuwait, Republic of Macedonia, Malaysia, United Mexican States, Republic of Panama, Republic of the Philippines, State of Qatar, Romania, Russian Federation, Republic of Singapore, Republic of South Africa, Kingdom of Thailand, Tunisian Republic, Republic of Turkey and The United Arab Emirates.

Further information regarding in-situ training programmes can be sought by contacting Prof. Joseph Troisi, Director, on e-mail address joseph.troisi@inia.org.mt or joseph.troisi@um.edu.mt
