Further Information

Please have a look at the ICR Toolbox to get an idea of what it is about. The training series comprises an introduction to Business Environment Reform and the ICR Toolbox, and three modules on individual ICR tools. We recommend starting with the introduction module and then moving on to the other tools based on your interest. You will get a participation certificate after completing each module and a course participation certificate after completing all four modules.

You will find a variety of learning activities to absorb the material like reading documents, watching videos, and working on quizzes and case studies to evaluate your understanding. In the ICR Toolbox at the end of each tool presentation, you will find reading suggestions to dive deeper into the topic, if you wish so.
