NMMU Prepares Southern Sudanese Government Officials for Leadership Positions
www.MyPE.co.za:
Sixteen
Southern Sudanese government and military officials from Southern Sudan
recently embarked on a three-year programme in Development and
Leadership Studies at Nelson Mandela Metropolitan University (NMMU).
The aim of the program is to prepare Southern Sudanese officials for
future leadership positions. In their studies, students will
focus on development, leadership, strategic and policy studies,
international relations, conflict management, and other important
topics.
The program is funded
through Africa Educational Trust (AET) from
London and implemented by the department of Development Studies at
Nelson Mandela Metropolitan University.
Since the students already hold posts in the government and military
structures of Southern Sudan, they will spend two months annually in
Port Elizabeth attending classes, while for the remaining time
lecturers and staff will communicate with them over the internet, video
conferencing, and lecturing in Southern Sudan.
Project coordinator Savo
Heleta says that this programme will play an important role
in developing qualified personnel within the structures of the
government of Southern Sudan, because the future of the country depends
on having educated and competent leadership capable of planning and
managing coherent strategic policies.
