PSD Blog@IDRC: The case for better African business schools discussion

Critical to Africa’s economic growth problem is a lack of the managerial skills needed to grow successful firms. By providing firms with a stronger pool of trained managers, African business schools can help foster a healthy private sector. Donors must recognize that the continent’s management schools represent a key capacity-building tool that can not only help the private sector, but can also encourage entrepreneurship, streamline healthcare delivery, improve corporate governance, and increase government effectiveness. However, the quality and capacity of these schools needs to be improved, and donors must recognize that most of them are in the private sector.

Questions: What lessons can be learned from the launch of management training programs in Latin American and Asia? How can information and communication technologies be used to improve the quality of current training? How do we ensure that these schools deliver relevant skills? What should the core curriculum of these schools be: hard technical skills or fostering entrepreneurship, creativity and social responsibility? What incentives are needed to ensure that the newly trained managers (and teachers) do not simply migrate abroad with their new skills?
