During the meetings were addressed topics related to the optimization and increase of transparency in the process of conducting the admission/graduation contest, initial training of the trainees, reconceptualization of the plans of continuous training for the NIJ beneficiaries, as well as the reconstruction of the building and the development of the infrastructure, which were determined by increasing the institutional capacities and the quality of the training process.
