CIFAL Shanghai finished its pilot phase last year and this is the fist workshop after the official approval of the establishment of CIFAL Shanghai by the Chinese central government. The main focus of this centre has been the Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) for local government, but it will broaden the topic of training workshops to various issues such as environment protection and sustainable economic development.
