These mechanisms support (1) the Agency's third goal of "Building Human Capacity through Education and Training;" (2) EGAT/ED's Strategic Support Objective No. 3, "Training improves performance of individuals and effectiveness of host country organizations;" and (3) the full range of E&E Bureau and Mission SOs due to the cross-cutting nature of participant training. Under PTP, AED provides services for Armenia, Belarus, Moldova, and Ukraine.
