Progress report on education for development

Abstract

The First Conference of Ministers Responsible for Human Resources Planning, Development and Utilization endorsed and accepted seven project proposals as a basis for facilitating the development of internal capacity and capability in human resources. One of the project proposals was on the "Reorientation of Education for the development of the African Region". This project proposal was taken by the Conference as a basis for further consultations at national level for the review and adaptation to national needs and the role of education in responding to the socio-economic challenges of member States.
