Information Technology related Training Programmes
--------------------------------------------------

Manchester, UK

The key staff needed to harness the power of IT for organisations in 
Africa and beyond are 'hybrids'. 'Hybrid professionals' are those who 
understand IT and information systems and management/organisational 
issues.

A one-year MSc in 'Management and Information Systems' from Institute 
for Development Policy & Management (IDPM), University of Manchester 
provides training in these areas to create the hybrid professionals 
who will be essential to future organisational growth. We train a 
number of African study fellows every year on this and other manage-
ment programmes.

Further details can be obtained from the IDPM Web site:

Details of shorter IT-related training programmes (6 weeks, 12 weeks 
and Diploma with distance learning components) can be obtained from:
