African institute for economic development and planning
The United Nations African institute for economic development and planning was created by E.C.A. resolution 93 (IV) to serve three main purposes. First, to train specialists and senior officials of government agencies responsible for economic development and planning; second to support and supplement such training by appropriate research activities; third, to offer limited advisory services to African countries in matters of economic planning at the request of their governments. The training program mainly consists of a nine months’ course conducted at the institute's headquarters at Dakar. This course is attended by government officials holding responsible positions in their respective ministries; it is focused on techniques of economic and social planning and development. The major objective of the Institute's training is to impart, in an African environment, the techniques and tools of planning and development to suitably qualified candidates. The Institute is mainly concerned with this specific task and insists on guiding its teaching and training towards African problems and realities, taking advantages of the opportunities available to keep in close contact with the African situation and with the work of the Economic Commission for Africa.
