The TrainForTrade programme along with a port expert from Dublin Port Company (DPC) will take part in the juries that will assess the dissertation deliveries of the 23 middle managers from the Philippine Ports Authority (PPA) who have completed the 8 modules of the Modern Port Management course. Those who successfully pass their dissertations will earn UNCTAD's Modern Port Management Certificate. A visit to Cebu Port Authority (CPA) is also organized to conduct meetings with port representatives.
The Philippines is currently on its 1st cycle in the programme, wherein the deliveries are both led by UNCTAD and international instructors (Irish port experts), as well local senior managers who have completed the training-of-trainers workshop. Each training cycle lasts 16 to 24 months and comprises 240 hours of in-class training and a final thesis.
This strategy highlights the uniqueness and strength of the TrainForTrade Port Training Programme. Local ownership of the programme is fostered to reinforce the training's impact and ensure its sustainability. Local ownership is achieved through a financing scheme that requires participating ports to provide the majority of the programme's funds, and by gradually shifting responsibility for implementing the programme from UNCTAD to the ports.
