The main objectives of the workshop were (1) to present the Prakas and SPCD that were approved on 26 October 2018 to the participants, and (2) to accelerate their preparation through discussions on their roles and responsibility to implement the Prakas and SPCD.

In this connection, at the workshop, there were presentations on the Prakas and SPCD conducted by Director of Training Department in the morning; and group discussion for actions on implementation of the Prakas and SPCD held in the afternoon, after forming the small groups of the participants. At the presentation of the discussion results, among the challenges raised by the sub-national administrations (SNAs), the main obstacles for SNAs were the limited human and financial resources. To deal with this, the technical support and the program budget package from the central government to support the human resource development at SNAs as in the Prakas and SPCD were pointed out as the solutions.
