ATI NEWSLETTER – 6th Edition
 |
ATI continues to respond to the pandemic-related travel restrictions by both diversifying its capacity development (CD) services to its members and scaling up its operations. ATI’s staff innovativeness and the efficient use of virtual communications technology have been instrumental, helping the center to offer a total of 42 remote events during January-June 2021, about three times more than in the same period in the previous year. The more diversified set of ATI CD events continues to include training in traditional areas, but increasingly covers new priorities endorsed by the Steering Committee such as governance and corruption, climate change, and the macroeconomics of gender and epidemics. Modalities of delivery continue to branch out to outreach events and peer-to-peer events to keep ATI’s alumni well-informed about recent economic developments and relevant research to support policymaking the Sub-Saharan African region. In this newsletter, we introduce a new colleague, Mr. Dagmawi Asrat, who will join ATI’s team of French interpreters, describe CD events hosted by ATI during January-June 2021—including courses, webinars, workshops, and peer-learning events—and share feedback received from our alumni. We also report on the 8th Steering Committee Meeting of ATI, published research by ATI staff, and the new ATI database on course and participant information. To celebrate the one-year anniversary of working from home, we also present some of the social activities that help ATI staff withstand the impact of the pandemic on morale. We start with a few words from ATI Director, Mr. Abdoul Aziz Wane.
