INTRODUCTION
This pUblication contains information on training prograllUlles and areas such as industry, human settlements, natural resources, engineering, management, education, economics, health, etc •
It is divided into two parts. Part one, entitled RCA Training Bulletin, provides advance information on ECA's planned training courses, workshops and seminars to enable interested training institutes, the various services of government and, where applicable, interested parastatal and private establishments to better plan their participation in the various events organized in conjunction with other activities of the Secretariat. The implementation of planned activities is, however, subject to the availability of funds.
Part two, entitled Training Information Notice, gives detailed information on current training opportunities offered to African nationals. The aim of the Notice is to bring to the attention of member States training opportunities available to them through external assistance; to stimulate interest in taking advantage of available facilities; and, to encourage them to utili2e these facilities for the training of personnel needed for the implementation of development programmes.
The publication is issued every June and December. Copies of each issue of the publication are sent to offices designated by governments to co-ordinate training programmes.
It is particularly requested that these offices should endeavour to expeditiously distribute copies of the publication to executives, ministries, training centres, educational institutions and appropriate pUblic enterprises likely to. be interested in training courses, workshops, seminars and other training opportunities announced by ECA.
ECA would be happy to give pUblicity to specialized training courses, workshops and seminars, organized by member states which are open to trainees from other African countries. In this connection, full partiCUlars about such courses should be cOllUllunlcated to the Secretariat four to six months in advance of the closing date for receiving nominations for courses.

ECA Post";'Doctoral Fellowship In The Economics of Development Working Language: English and French
'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 wider 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.
Purpose, and Activities: The primary objective of the fellowship is to encourage young Ph.D. graduates to conduct research Which will stimUlate, foster, advance and promote a better understanding, appreciation and resolution of significant, contemporary or emerging African common economic problems as they relate to development and to allow them to acquire professional experiences that will be beneficial to their future careers. .
The secondary objective is to encourage the availability of research findings that will assist African planners, pOlicy makers as well as scholars in their development efforts.
Eligibility: The fellowship is open to all young African graduates who have recently completed their Ph.D. degree in economics and who are interested in policy-oriented research in current issues related to social. and economic devei'Opment in Africa in whichi the Activities will concern , e)/per'illlental researoh devoted',to assistAfrican countries to develop, effecti ve systems for manaqd.nq their economies in general 'and their resources and ecoldgy in
