Regional “Train the Trainers” Workshop on the Behavioural Insights and Strategic Planning Handbook

Within the framework of ESCWA’s Development Account (DA) project “Towards the Arab Horizon 2030: Enhancing Integrated National Development Planning in the Arab Region” and as part of its deliverables, ESCWA and Nudge Lebanon collaborated to develop a comprehensive handbook/manual for Arab development planners. The handbook includes good practices and tools identified from within and outside the region that may be used by national planners as a guide during their work and throughout the different stages of planning. The handbook provides Arab planners and stakeholders with practical means and tools to apply behavioural insights into their work. In addition, the manual helps them to identify the behavioural biases that occur during the planning process and highlights possible behavioural interventions.
 
The main aim of this one-day workshop was to train the national project focal points on the content and usage of the handbook. The workshop has provided them with guidelines on how they can apply behavioural insights in practice and how they themselves can train relevant stakeholders in their countries on the usage of behavioural insights in their respective area of work.
