In the framework of their collaboration aiming to jointly develop a series of learning programmes in the field of knowledge management, UNITAR and the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) have developed the course Innovative Collaboration for Development (ICfD), an e-learning course on social media tools.

The overall goal of the course is to empower development professionals to recognize the potential of social media and to make innovative use of these tools to improve the efficiency, effectiveness and reach of their work. The course, therefore, gives participants the opportunity to use and analyze social media tools in light of their adaptability to specific workplace contexts.

UNITAR is pleased to announce the opening of registrations of a fourth session of the ICfD course from 26 September to 25 November 2011. The course fee is fixed at USD 850 and, in this instance, no fee reductions apply.

Applications will only be accepted online: http://www.unitar.org/event/icfd_september .

The application deadline is 5 September 2011. Participants will be accepted on a first come first served basis; therefore, interested candidates are encouraged to apply early.
