Overview

Our training employs a hybrid (blended virtual and in-person) model that combines foundational online courses delivered through William & Mary's Studio for Teaching & Learning Innovation with in-person workshops and policy dialogues. In-person sessions are country- and region-specific for targeted professional development. The curriculum blends academic research with practical methodologies, providing a comprehensive skillset for meaningful engagement with data and development finance.
