This workshop aims at improving participants’ analytical and interpersonal skills in their continual negotiations to ensure they do first things first. It is important to prepare before action, especially when strong coalitions and consensus are needed, and to improve the quality of relationships, internally through the mandate, and externally with the representatives of other partner states, before any other action. Negotiating the process and agenda is needed before dealing with problems and issues. In other words, participants will become more aware of how they behave in negotiation contexts, and whether or not they should behave the same way, or differently.
