BULLETIN ON ECA TRAINING PROGRAMMES No. 39 BULLETIN SUR LES PROGRAMMES DE FORMATION Nr. 39

This pUblication contains information on training programmes and areas such as industry, human settlements, natural resources,

engineering, management, education, economics, health, etc.

It is divided into two parts. Part one, entitled ECA 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 parastatals 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 utilize 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, organi zed by member states which are open to trainees from other African countries. In this

connection, full particulars about such courses should be communicated to the Secretariat four to six months in advance of

Although every effort is made to transmit information as accurately as possible, neither the donor countries nor the Commission can assume responsibility for any inadvertent error that may occur in this pUblication. Applicants are therefore requested to cross-check information with the donor countries and organizations concerned, particularly as regards financial and

other conditions.
