Background: Every year, scores of young Africans complete programmes of doctoral studies in economics. While some of research work focuses on African economic problems and is conducted within Africa, a lot of others are carried out abroad on economic issues or problems of development which are of very little relevance in the African context. It is the realization that African economists need to be exposed to pragmatic economic research and thinking pertinent to the continent's need and requirements early in their careers that has given rise to this Post-Doctoral Fellowship Programme. ECA, in the context of its role in Africa's development and socio-economic transformation, is in a unique position to provide the required intellectual leadership and environment through its programmes on development issues and policies. In assisting newly graduated young African scholars to sharpen and widen their grasp and knowledge of contemporary African economic issues and problems and in providing them with a ready laboratory for applied economics work in the application of economic ideas. and methodology, the Post- Doctoral Fellowship Programme will equip them for future roles and tasks in African economic management and development engineering.

UNITED NATION AGENCIES/AGENCES DES NATIONS UNIES VI INTERNATIONAL LABOUR ORGANIZATION (11..0)
Project Title: Training for Deyelopment Cooperation in the United Nations system
Medium of instruction:
language
Location: Turin, Italy Duration: (Refer to ILO)
Depends on participants preferred
Objectives :" National capacity building, coordination and effectiveness are guiding principles of the United Nations development efforts. In a new call for enhanced performance, General Assembly resolutions reiterate these principles and explicitly underpin that training is indispensable if international cooperation is to achieve its goal.
Endorses the exclusive responsibility of recipient governments for formulating their own development priorities, mandates UN agencies to strengthen national capacities for managing and sustaining development efforts and calls for a shift from project to programme approach.
Reiterates the principles enumerated in resolution 44/211, introduced the concept of a country strategy note, strengthens earlier resolutions on national execution and the central role of recipient governments in managing their cooperation programmes.
As evidence of its commitment to training, the UN has taken concrete steps towards greater effectiveness and relevance of its development assistance for the benefit of the 152 countries of territories presently receiving aid. To this end, it has mandated the ILO turin centre to organize and execute training to enhance the management of development, awareness regarding peace-keeping, humanitarian affairs and human rights as well as to consolidate innovative approaohes for generat1ng more impact in core concerns of the UN.
Programme:
Project I: Field Coordination
The coordination of UN assistance at country level is a complex exercise. To consolidate the UNs ventures in accordance with Resolution 44/211, this workshop takes an in-depth look at issues to be faced for the remainder of this century and insight into the roles, mandates and capacities of sister agencies in order to maximize complementarities and avoid duplication.
ECA/PHSD/HRP/TIN/95/S Page 13 Part I Project II: National Capacity strengthening
So that recipient nations can exercise their sovereign right in setting priorities and assume exclusive responsibility for their own development as stipulated by Resolution 441211, national capacities for sustainable management of assistance projects and programmes need to be strengthened in the interest of both governments and UN agencies alike. This workshop will promote national self-reliance in managing the development process.
Project III: Management of Technical CooPeration
Technical cooperation plays an important role in transferring knowledge and skills between/among countries, in particular to support and sustain the efforts of the developing world towards national self-reliance in managing development plans. In recent years, technical cooperation partners have defined new orientations focusing on better planning, management and coordination of foreign aid resources, investment and technical cooperation projects or programmes in order to ensure their effectiveness and sustainability. This workshop puts these new orientations into practice.
~ect IV: Management of Investment projects
Sound analyses and evaluation of investment feasibility studies are paramount for economic and financial effectiveness of development projects. Decision makers, project managers and consultants from development institutions, private consulting firms, large enterprises and project. analysts from development banks will improve their competencies in the design, appraisal, implementation, monitoring and evaluation of public investment programmes and projects. They will also gain skills in using computer software specially designed for this purpose.
Project V: Procurement Management
The promotion of efficiency, economy and transparency in public procurement is of vital importance to good governance and steady development. The Turin Centre has developed a modular package for the procurement of goods and works designed to convey world Bank procurement guidelines while enhancing operation skills in the execution of the procurement process; and another module on public procurement for development projects. Armed with the merits of competition, transparency, non-discrimination and the skills to apply them, public procurement officers can go a long way towards eliminating development bottlenecks caused by inadequate procurement.
ECA/PHSD/HRP/TIN/95/8 Page 14
Part I
~oject VI: Coordination (in-Country Workshops)
These are government-owned and government led exercises organized with the support of the Resident Coordinators Office in each country and the Turin Centre. In these fora, government representatives expound their respective national priorities and agree with the UN team on a common medium-term action plan for UN operations in support of national development priorities as
identified by the government.
Project VII: Peace-Keeping
As a result of the end of the Cold War traditional peace- keeping measures must be expanded and adapted by alternative strategies if the UN is to assume its responsibility and
leadership as the guarantor and mediator of peace. A global strategy for peace-keeping training will go beyond conventional military doctrines and develop skills needed for the multi- dimensional issues which military and civilian peace-keeping personnel should take into account during future missions. These include demobilization, supervision of cease-fires and elections, humanitarian assistance, as well as the political, legal and social ramifications of conflicts.
Project VIII: Human Rights
A training package on human rights reporting has been jointly designed by the UN Centre for Human Rights and ILO Turin.
It will familiarize government officials responsible for drafting the reports required under international systems of human rights protection, guidelines and procedures for human rights monitoring and reporting, and will guarantee continuity by replicating the training and the strengthening of national capacities for this activity.
Project IX: Humanitarian Affairs
ThQ range of skills and expertise required for dealing with humanitarian crises is undergoing continuous expansion and is increasingly viewed at two levels: immediate action to diffuse crisis with emergency measures to support affected populations;
medium and long-term impact on infrastructure, development, human rights and the restoration of law and order. Numerous training programmes are already offered in this field by individual bodies and specialized agencies of the UN system. In cooperation with the UN, the Turin Centre is designing activities of inter-agency nature to support coordinated humanitarian relief at field level.
Resource persons
Inputs are provided, as appropriate, by prominent international development experts, senior UN off icials and by the
ECA/PHSD/HRP/TIN/95/8 Page 15 Part I participants themselves in sharing their knowledge and experience.
Methods
The training approach is flexible and modular with active non-academic training methods based on performance-oriented individual and group exercises, case studies, applications, demonstrations and interaction with resource persons and amongst participants. Group work and participant-driven exercises reinforce effective teamwork techniques to enhance cooperation at country level.
Training material
Following a systems approach, modular competency-based training collections-packaging communication, training and evaluation tools as well as guides for trainers and trainees l are designed to support the various training workshops. The media range from conventional to new technologies.
Follow-up and networking
ILQ Turin supports networking and continuous communication among teams. Upon request, it can monitor and assist the implementation of action plans conceived during workshops, provide material up-dates, assist in adapting training material, provide resource persons to national workshops and help secure funds.

A.3.1.1 Project I: MBA Master in Business Administration Medium of instruction: Variable
Location: Milano, Italy
Objectives: ~he impQr~ance of the educational process
what today's companies are looking for in candidates is evidence of specific qualities: an original creative approach, the propensity to seek new opportunities, and the ability to act on decisions promptly, guiding activities in the right direction.
What they need are new talents, able to find the most appropriate solutions to guarantee growth and able to interpret, safeguard and innovate a company's culture.
The MBA course (Master in Business Administration) has been conceived to offer, in addition to the assimilation of concepts and models, the possibility of reinforcing abilities indispensable to operating efficiently in a corporate context.
On the course, participants acquire instruments and, above all, learn to develop their ability to listen and a readiness to interact with others, gathering precious clues to the solution of problems.
Programme: How the MBA Programme is organized: The programme attracts qualified young professionals who have decided to invest in their careers and wish to significantly enhance their profiles. The course comprises 16 Months of full-time attendance. Part One of the course (nine months), consisting of intense classroom activity, aims to provide students with the methods and criteria essential to a correct understanding of the complex dynamics of corporate life.
In Part Two, participants investigate areas of special interest by attending elective courses and workshops or through two possible Focuses: the first on Information Systems and the second on Fashion & Design. The Focus is an integration of, and not an alternative to, the typical general management content of the
MBA.
An important step in the educational process is represented by the Field projects. These projects are developed between mid- June and mid-December and require a total full-time commitment of 12 weeks. The aim of the project is to offer companies functional solutions to complex problems, thanks to the contribution of working groups (3/6 students) using state-of-the art methods under the guidance of an MBA tutor. This way
ECA/PHSD/HRP/TIN/95/8 Page 5 Part II participants have the opportunity to tackle the everyday problems of business organizations and test in the field the knowledge they have gained in the classroom. Relations with the company in question are of a strictly professional nature.
The course structure is enriched by a programme of international exchanges (September/December) reserved for a select group of participants and held at the Business Schools of the most qualified foreign universities. Great value is placed also on the policy of exchanges between foreign teachers and School staff.
The programme is completed by a cycle of encounters with protagonists of the cultural world and the business community, during which participants are stimulated to expand their horizons by rEi)flecting on issues that do not immediately relate to classical managerial disciplines.
ECA/PHSD/HRP/TIN/95/8 Page 6
Part II
Project II: MIEM Master in International Economics and Management
objectiVes: An Interdisciplinary approach
Performing successfully in an international environment - by definition complex - calls for new professional figures, who can draw on the knowledge of disciplines other than business management, such as law, economics and political science. Such knowledge is essential today for a critical understanding of the competitive arena and the ability to weigh up alternative opportunities and detect those environmental forces and changes that the organization must respond to.
The new professional figure must be able to recognize and understand his/her sphere of action and be able to communicate clearly and efficiently the information preparatory to decision- making.
Programme: The programml;! is strongly interdisciplinary and international in character. In fact its courses supplement the study of the usual functional subjects (marketing, strategy, organization, finance, etc.) with the analysis and acquisition of the tools and conceptual models needed to analyze the insti tutional, economic and political factors that shape the business environment.
The teaching staff, who come from allover the world, bring to the classroom their experience and know-how gained in a variety of contexts, thus stimulating the continuous confrontation of different methodological and cultural approaches and helping participants to take an unbiased view also of values and rules that may be culturally unfamiliar to them.
Project II: Recruiting Services
objectives: The aim of this wholly free-of-charge service is to promote contacts between organizations and candidates having the most appropriate skills and attitudes for the professional positions being offered, by arranging valuable encounters between participants and companies and providing them with numerous tools for building up a positive and satisfying relationship. The Centre is ready whenever requested to make a personalized analysis of the company's specific needs.
Programme: Towards the end of the Masters course, the Centre organizes company presentations. Presentations are scheduled well in advance and are held shortly after close of lessons (4.30 pm). They generally last 30/40 minutes, with a final part received for participants' questions. Presentations give companies the chance to stimulate candidates' interest towards them by talking about their particular features in terms of cul ture, organi zational structure and management methods. Other aspects that can be illustrated during presentations are recent
ECA/PHSD/HRP/TIN/95/8 Page 7 Part II company performances and acquisitions, as well as the strategies followed to achieve these results.
In this way MBA and MIEM participants can get information on topics that are of real interest to them: what career paths and opportunities are offered: just how internationally-minded a company really is; how training programmes are carried out; how projects can be participated in and collaboration gained; what responsibilities and tasks are assigned to the position being offered.
