ECA/PHSD/HRP/TIN/93/2 Part I INTRODUCTION
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 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
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, organized 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 the closing date for receiving nominations for
courses.
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.
Request for additional copies of this publications and further enquiries on any of the planned ECA training courses, workshops and seminars may be directed to :

ECA Post-doctoral Fellowship in The Economics of Development
Language of Instruction: 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 mis 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.
Purpose and Activities: The primary objective of the fellowship is to encourage young Ph.D. graduates to conduct research which will stimulate, foster, advance 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 aevelopment in Africa in
which the Activities will concern experimental research devoted to assist African countries to develop effective systems for managing their economies in general and their resources and ecology in particular.
Economic Commission for Africa is currently involved.
Experience of one or two years in a teaching and/or research institution or government economic policy

Programme: Three areas of research are involved:
TftfflWtreh Area 1: ^onomic
development planning, history, strategies, techniques and process (sectoral development);
2:Macro-economics,
money and banking institutions, and public finance in developing African countries (structural adjustment with
transformation);
Area 3:International trade
Rs
and finance in Africa's development process (inter-African trade, economic cooperation and integration, development finance and aid).
Terms of Fellowship:
(a) A round-trip air ticket;
(b) Yearly research allowances ranging from US$20,000 to US$25,000 payable monthly;
(c) The fellowship is tenable for a maximum period of 12 months without extension;
(d) The post-doctoral research fellow should participate in the research activities of ECA (Socio-Economic Research and Planning Division) and in the workshops and conferences organized by EGA to discuss the research findings with the African planners, policy-makers and scholars;
(e) Fellows will spend the year working at the EGA headquarters' facility devoting full time to their research. They will be provided with extensive support including computer hardware, access to library resources, secretariat services and so forth. However, they should arrange for their housing in Addis Ababa (at cheap hotels or elsewhere within their own budget).
