  2. Activities / contents
    Within the parameters of Philippine commitment to TCDC, and the UN general framework for cooperation for LDC's, we will continue to undertake training programs to promote and strengthen self-reliance among developing countries, in the context of their national development goals, and, with the end in view of establishing a new international economic order.
    Non-degree training courses where the Philippines has developed the experience and the expertise and which are relevant to the development efforts of beneficiary countries, are offered. Where more practicable, Filipino experts and trainers are sent to beneficiary countries instead of their nationals travelling to the Philippines.
