Development of e-Learning Materials
Antecedentes
The United Nations Institute for Training and Research (UNITAR), Geneva, and the Economics and Finance Institute, Phnom Penh worked together in the design and delivery of training on public financial management and climate change policy for public sector officials in Cambodia.
During the training, which used a blended approach (various methodologies combined) the EFI team was also introduced the e-learning concept. EFI showed its interest in e-learning materials and its development process and considers the approach suitable for the activities conducted by the institute.

Información adicional
The workshop attendance was an initial step taken by EFI in the attempt to develop in-house e-learning capacity. In the future, this could potentially lead to the development of an in-house team who could provide the institute with the necessary skills to develop independently e-learning materials and distance learning platforms.
