Introduction

The present Evaluation Report on IDEP covering the-period 1963/64

to 1967/63 is intended to be.read in conjunction with the following three

documents prepared for the Eighth Meeting of the IDEP Governing Council to "be beld at Addis Ataba, Headquarters of the .Economic Coimniseion for

Africa, 29 ~ 31 January 1969'; : "'

.,(l) The Training and Research Programme of IDBP-j The Second Phase . ■ , (ii) Alternative .Schemes and Possible Sources of Financing for the

■ ■ ■ Future Operations of. IDEP (IEBP/dIB/EAP/2146)5

■■ -(ill)- Operational Information Requested by IDEP Governing Council

■at its Seventh Meeting (IDEP/DIR/2150). .■

2. These three documents,.especially the third, provide much of the basic information necessary for"evaluating the" IPEP Project.in its First Phase, a:

well as possible,guidelines-for.its activities' in its Second Phase. This Report therefore provides a'summary and overview of the' activities of the

.First Phase, '

3. During the First .Phase, the Institute has engaged in the activities

falling within its principal functions ■'$ , ■ ■

(1) Training ■ ■

(2) Research ■

(3) Advisory Services

with 'by far the greater emphasis having'"been put on trainir^;.' (nr^ minor rol of research arfadvisory services-has heen 'due to the following

(a) The neod for training -person-nel for African Governments in the

field of development and planning was so great attb- dime of the

■■.incoption of the Institute, that little thought was given to tho

Page 2

research aspect of its work, ■ most of the planning having gone into . the- elaboration of the training programme. This primary emphasis

en training has remained throughout the First Phase.-'

("b) Development and planning activities were then beginning to take

hold in an Africa, newly become independents and time, was required for these activities to produce enough results to make research . into the field really worth-while.

(o) The frequent change of direction and professional staff of the

Institute militated against the establishment of any.continuing or en-going programme of research. In fact,- only in the last ttto years of the Project has anyone been in charge of -the Institute for .as long.as.two years, and even then, on an interim basis. In the six years in which the Institute has lieon in existence (if tho pre-Institiite year, 1963-64, is'included), there has been o-ily one

■ substantive Director who held his post for only a year and eight

months (iiug-ust 1965 - March 196?)- These frequent changes of

. direction fr?,vo' naturally prevented the elaboration and elocution of a research programme until only in the last tv:o years. Svon ao, tho expansion of the training programme at the same tirx vo provide for jr.cr--> courses, at other African centres than Dakar and Ct.iro, has resulted in an increased burden of training on the sltm&er■ et/ifi

of the Institute. (3eo APPESTCIX for a list of staff.

fc'n#a#otl by IDE? since 1963).

(d) The Institute's Plan of "Operation, indeed, refers to research

activities as part of the Institutefs- programme. But reflecting more tl;;,3 preoccupation with training, no special provision was made for research activities in the budget. It was assumed that tho same staff would undertake both training and research. In the first three years of the Institute, when only two main courses were organised annually,, thia combination1 could have teizn possible but did not . " materialise "because of the unstable direction and composition of the

■ staff. In the third, year, with the- appointment of a substantive Director, serious thoughta were given to the research side of the

improved method and longer notification'would "bear fruit remains to he seen,

£he -view has-'been1 expressed-that this "would not make much of a difference.

If this turns out to "be true? and even without waiting for confirmation or disproof, it .will certainly be'raueh-better "for governments to try to

facilitate the work of the Institute-"by establishing national liaison committees.' This device should not -interfere with existing coordinating machinery "for award of ."bursaries, since a representative of the coordinating

ministry-could be-a member (possibly3 also the chairman) of'this committee.

African1 governments owe it 'to themselves to get value-, in return- for their contributions towards the activities of the Institute. The cause of Pan- Africanism is not" served merely by lip service or money contributions, but

2Os J>i£i2S£* By ..decision of the Economic Commission for Africa, taken in

1964, examinations for a diploma are'set in the Nine-month Course.'This was

a correct decision and one which has been, responsible for whatever attraction the Course still has vis-a-vis foreign competition. It is desirable that this, policy continue in the Second Phase, IDBP'g■other- courses offer a choice to "

participants who do not wish to follow a course leading to a diploma. But for those who do, the opportunity must remain, in the Nine-month Course, ■ whatever the form it may take "in the'.Second Phase. Wine months is too'long ,

a time for training without some'formal evidence of accomplishment, Eve-n .;■

apprentices in trade schools require certificates of competence. If training is the .objective of IDEP-, the situation cannot be otherwise in this respect,.

Also, if the average cost of a full bursary'at iDEP's'Bine-month Course " ■ '

(including travel) is'$3 500, there would seem to be-very little point in

requiring a diploma for "this' amount if spent on foreign-training, wit-bout requiring similar formal justification of expenditure when made in Africa,

21b'"" liiiaeasiiS£'.--Til© principal reason for "a common institute'for training in-development and-planning is the same in Africa, as in Latin .America .and -Asia - joint-'-discussion of common problems and exchange of experiences ."

throughout the Region. ■ In the case of the African Institute, this means ,- ■ the use of interpretation facilities, and. translation of documents for all regional courses held at the Institute, including the Bine-month Course; ■

Expenditures on interpretation and translation staff'for 1967/68 easne to

$U1 000 or around 10$ of total-expenses for' the period., about $84 000"or 8% -being incurred on the Fine-month Course and the rest,"'or 2%, on other^

regional.courses held at the Institute, Interpretation-and" translation ■

facilities are also utilised "in some regional and sub-regional-courses held

outside Dakar, notably the annual Cairo Course and courses held''in the"North "

African sub-region.-This is the only device possible for bringing together^'"

participants from' the t-wo main language, groups and'exposing them to' the'-same discussion and zxahange of points of view.' Assuming therefore, that-10$ of the annual budget of the Institute goes towards making- possible this common '

future programme of research undertaken % the Institute/ The first factor ..^■'fche neoessity for a regions,! orientation to development and'planning

activities at the'national level, within African countries, For the.spatial basis of activity is an inescapable, fact in.'all development and planning projects. The second factor is the equal necessity for a regional.orient atio- to development asid planning activities.between African countries on a sub- regional basis at.the minimum. It is therefore proposed^. in the Second Phase to orient the research (as well as the training programme) of IDEP on. these twin ."bases, and to. pursue research oh various projects within this framework.

.Special attention wil^ of course, be given to the methods and ieehniguess involved in these areas and their application to problems...in Africa.

support of Ai'rioan governments and their willingness to send increasingly bettor material to thy Institute's courses. Thoy only help themselves by doing this. In the field of research, much more remains to "be done and will be done, given a continuation of present trends towards greater stability of the staff and the programme of the Institute.

34. This is not a time to make fresh starts all over again. Lack of continv ha.s bedevilled the lasst efforts designed to achieve progress. Rather is thie a time for consolidation of what benefits have been achieved,and to derive.

profit from the experiences gained, With the support of African governments, the Institute will succeed in its tasks, in the measure of such support and as. it richly deserves to. succeed.
