A total of 17 analysts from different government institutions initiated their training in the use of an economy-wide model with which they will develop scenarios delineating implementation strategies for national development plans and public policies. The training constituted in itself a policy analysis exercise, since analysts engaged in the type of analysis that will eventually support decision making with regard to implementation of policies of national interest. Additional workshops to transfer an extended version of the economy-wide model, including details for energy and carbon emissions as well as a poverty module, will be organized in 2017.
