Speaker: Han Fraeters
Practice Manager,
Knowledge Exchange,
World Bank Institute
“Over the past decade, the
Bank has financed
approximately $720 million in
training annually.”
“Most Bank-financed training
was found to result in
individual participant learning,
but only about half resulted
in substantial changes to
workplace behavior or
enhanced development
capacity.”
India’s model for information
technology services is being
replicated in Ghana, Kenya,
Madagascar, Mozambique,
Nigeria, Senegal, Rwanda,
and Tanzania.
