Bandwidth Management and Optimisation: Workshops
As part of INASP's bandwidth management and optimisation activities we run a series of local, national and regional workshops and training events. These events are planned and implemented in partnership with selected partners and countries. The partners and countries that have participated in these activities have been selected on the basis of need and in light of funding availability to support such activities. INASP would like to offer these workshops and activities in other countries and regions but can only do this subject to funding availability (self funding of national or local level workshops is actively encouraged).
Past and future events run in this area are detailed below.
