I consider myself most privileged to be given an opportunity to participate in the just concluded AGRODEP/IFPRI sponsored training on “Estimation of the Economic Impact of High Food Prices Using Micro Data” held at Dakar, Senegal; May 28 – 30, 2013 with Miguel Robles as the Instructor. For me, this training offered an opportunity to revisit & learn afresh some crucial theoretical foundations for my research that I use to take for granted in the past with limiting implication for my ability to contribute to knowledge. The training also broadened my knowledge of welfare analysis and equipped me with new analytical tools and knowledge of international best practices in my area of calling.
I wish to thank AGRODEP & IFPRI for this invaluable capacity building opportunity given to me and my Colleagues; and Miguel Robles, for sparing no effort to ensure we followed him & understand the key messages of his presentations. Thanks also to the entire AGRODEP team at Dakar for the effective way the logistics were handled. May the Lord bless you all.
