The Second Training of Trainers (ToT) workshop took place from the 26th to the 30th September, 2016 in Port Louis Mauritius. This workshop was subsequent to the 1st ToT workshop held earlier in the year which involved training on the standards, techniques and methodology in delivery of training. The 2nd workshop focused on Risk Management, and aimed to empower the trainers with knowledge and training materials on technical subjects. This meeting was organized by the ROCB and the WCO in partnership with the Mauritius Revenue Authority (MRA), and made possible by the financial support from the Department for International Development (DfID)
Prior to the workshop, the ROCB and a technical team comprising officials from South Africa (lead), Mauritius, Swaziland and Zimbabwe, alongside the WCO worked on Evaluation Standards for the ESA Training of Trainer (ToT). The standards highlight the WCO Regional Training Charter, the scope, listing the principle methods of delivery, Documentation and steps in setting up and conducting a workshop.
The WCO ESA Training of Training (ToT) programme aims to develop a regional pool of experts in ToT for use in the region as well as by their respective national administrations in the dissemination of training. The Regional Training Centres (RTCs), in conjunction with the ROCB, the WCO and RECs (COMESA, EAC & SADC) developed the modules of the training.
