The contents of this training, especially the best practices from the different offces and countries are truly benefcial and helpful to our work in the Ministry. We learned updated information on food safety, and I realized that we have common issues on food safety but each country has a different approach, different ideas and solutions. So the things I learned in this training, I hope to implement in our country.  

The methodology of the training – the lectures, exercises and writing activities – also helped me appreciate the delivery of the content. It is very good for people who are older, who need information to be repeated often, and to help in the transfer of knowledge from theory to practice. Also, when we arrived here, everything has been properly provided – from transportation, accommodation, to the support services. I really appreciate them, and I hope to attend more trainings in MI in the future.
