Transfer of Technology
The Study Team has made their efforts to the transfer of technology on investigation/planning methods and skills as well as the basic data/information required for the planning. During work in the Philippines, three methods were applied for the technology transfer, which were on-the-job training, the Joint Meeting with the counterparts and the Study Team, and the Workshops. The following are brief descriptions of on-the-job training, the Joint Meeting and the Workshops:

On-the-job Training
On-the-job training has been provided to each counterpart through day-to-day works. Not only each team member undertakes their investigation responsibilities, but also provides the counterpart with guidance as to purpose and procedure of the investigation.
