Final dissertations and evaluations of the case studies for the 7th cycle of the Modern Port Management course in Peru

From 10 to 11 November 2022 will take place in Lima - Peru  the final dissertations and evaluations of the case studies prepared by participants of the 7th cylce of the Course on Modern Port Management of UNCTAD’s Port Management Programme/TrainForTrade.

The evaluation panels organised by the National Port Authority and UNCTAD will be carried out with the participation of international experts from Argentina, Bolivia, Spain, Dominican Republic, Uruguay and national experts trained and certified by UNCTAD. 

The case studies were elaborated in the framework of the Modern Port Management course, to present concrete proposals to respond to identified problems – technical, organisational, security, management, etc. – in the respective areas of work of the group of participants.   

The topics of the chosen case studies are recognised by the institutions of each participant as being of interest for possible implementation. In this way, the study has a real added value for the organisations.    

Participants will gain UNCTAD’s Port certificate by having successfully passed the course and successfully submitted the case study.    

The featured case studies will be presented in volume 13 of the UNCTAD Port Management Series. Link to previous publications
