It is a pleasure to inform all officials of CIAT member countries’ tax administrations that registration is open to apply for the “intensive tax training program” jointly implemented by the United Nations Institute for Training and Research (UNITAR) and the Institute for Studies of Public Finances of Argentina (IEFPA), with the technical support of CIAT.

Both institutions agreed to cooperate and implement courses, which will be taught under a combined or “blended” methodology, mainly through distance learning (“e-learning”) and to a lesser extent through classes and onsite practices that will be carried out in different countries.

The program aims to strengthen the expertise in economic, political, government administration, and tax and customs administration aspects, among other topics, which constitute training needs of public and private agents that work in the field of public finances; all with a special focus on Latin American countries.
