This will be the third in a series of workshops organized by the University of Maryland and its partners on how to position the economies of developing countries to compete effectively in the global marketplace.

The three-day workshop, which is scheduled for October 14 to 16, 2009, will have post workshop activities for interested participants. The University of Maryland Eastern Shore has made special lodging arrangements with the La Palm Royal Beach Hotel in Accra for participants, therefore, both workshop registration and accommodation arrangements should be done through the university.
