To systematically build core competencies for implementing sustainable development practices in the domain of public policy, ProSPER.Net has launched an e-Learning programme for development practitioners and policymakers in the Asia-Pacific region.

This endeavour to pilot-design a curriculum and generate suitable learning resources on 'sustainable development practice' is a collaborative activity under the ProSPER.Net initiative of the UNU-IAS (United Nations University-Institute of Advanced Studies) and is sponsored by the Ministry of Environment, Japan.

We are happy to launch the new topics for semester II of this programme. The successful students of the Semester I are welcome take up the new topics in Semester II. To begin with, students can access the first topic Quantitative Analysis for Public Policy I of the second module in the course Economic Reasoning in Public Policy. You will be notified as and when other topics are made accessible.

Please note:

   -  Assigned courses are to be completed within the semester which begins on 25 January, 2010 and ends       in May, 2010.

   -  Submission of questions, discussions and assignments is compulsory. Evaluation will be based on the        quality of your submission.

   -   Be encouraged to contact the lead faculty of each module for any discussions and clarifications on the        topic.

Contact us immediately if you face any problem related to the website and accessibility.
