EPRI has extensive experience in co-ordinating study tours to reinforce links between relevant policymakers and officials from participating countries. This builds consensus and momentum for social protection programme implementation while enabling South-South learning and fostering peer-to-peer networking between countries.
What to expect
Study tours include immersive lectures conducted by international experts, focus group discussions and field trips to provide participants with exposure to social protection policy and practical implementation issues at national, provincial and/or local levels.
- Interaction with key stakeholders, such as policymakers and programme implementers who provide practical and relevant information for adaptation in delegates’ own countries.
- Development of an understanding of the roles played by government, civil society and the private sector in the design, delivery and evaluation of social protection programmes.
EPRI has offered dozens of courses and study tours for international participants since 1996, including hosting delegates from Thailand, Pakistan, Nigeria, Malawi, Zambia, Mozambique, Lesotho, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Iraq and Ethiopia.
