Course Overview
In an era of global economic interdependence, economic diplomacy has become a strategic necessity for governments, institutions, and professionals seeking to advance national interests and build international partnerships.
It goes beyond traditional diplomacy to encompass negotiations on trade, finance, investment, and development with powerful international institutions such as the World Bank, IMF, WTO, and regional development banks.
Effective engagement requires a deep understanding of global economic systems, the ability to craft persuasive economic narratives, and the skills to navigate complex institutional frameworks.
This 5-day workshop is designed to equip participants with the tools to master the art of economic diplomacy. Through hands-on exercises, policy simulations, and expert-led sessions, attendees will learn how to prepare economic dossiers, negotiate with international bodies, analyze global policies, and build long-term institutional relationships.
By the end of the program, participants will be ready to represent their organizations with confidence and strategic insight in the global economic arena.
