The document summarizes the results of a survey given to participants before an online webinar about training and capacity development during the COVID-19 pandemic. The survey found that 100% of participants think it is necessary to rethink internal and international training actions due to the pandemic. Most participants reported canceling in-person activities and implementing new remote actions. Common obstacles to remote learning included lack of networking and social interactions. When asked about future training, 94% of participants said there should be a combination of online and in-person approaches.
