In this section Participants will indicate areas where they require technical assistance from ECA, and also provide recommendations on how best ECA can support member States in this regard. The key question is whether participants are interested in technical assistance from UNECA to have a stronger and more strategic incorporation of urbanization in national development planning? If so, what would the scope of that potential technical assistance requested be?
The guide the discussion the following questions are set and that participants are required to reflect on each of the following guiding questions:
1. Would your country be interested in getting technical assistance from UNECA?

If yes, would you be interested in getting training based on the UNECA Guidebook?

1- As indicated in my previous posts, the actual development model in Morocco based on disconnected sectoral policies and strategies has shown his limits.
The future model based on a holistic and integrated framework has to consider a new approach for for the success of this shift, Capacity Development will be necessary of the stakeholders involved in the process.
2- The UNECA Guidebook can serve on the training based on this:
- Adapted to the national context
- Adapted to a concerned party (Decisions makers, Planners, Trainers…)
My Proposal is to have a pilot phase for the test of the Guidebook based on a selection of countries from each African Sub Region.
Regional workshop for selected Trainers can be conducted first.
After that, the trainers will make the necessary adaptations to the Guidebook and conduct the national workshops.
The evaluation of the pilot phase will allow the appropriate finalization of the Guidebook.
