Agency (JICA) on the Training of Trainers' Programme for Capacity Building of
Management Development Institutes in Africa on Tuesday, 20 February 2007.

responsive to today's needs. The programme will cater for at least 200 trainers
from management development institutes representing the five regions of the
African continent and will enable them to impart needed knowledge, skills and
expertise for public servants.
