The main objective of the course was to increase participants' awareness about policies that facilitate economic growth and development. Participants were introduced to the latest issues and discussions on the linkages between economic development and poverty alleviation, learning several key issues such as the determinants of economic growth, the role of institutions, the impact of macroeconomic factors, and worldwide income distributions. The course was attended by a total of 30 participants, including 28 (93.3 percent) academics and researchers from major universities and research institutions in Central Asia (Kazakhstan, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, and the Kyrgyz Republic), as well as 2 staff (6.7 percent) from the Bank's resident missions in Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan. Sixteen participants (53.3 percent) were women. At the time of the end-of-course evaluation, the course organizer dropped one of the questions from the questionnaire since the subject of the question was not sufficiently covered in the course. Participants were therefore asked to respond to only 10 questions. The questionnaire for the course was completed by all participants except one, a total of 29 respondents (96.7 percent), including all 16 women participants.  Réduire
