FUNDAMENTALS OF DEVELOPMENT PLANNING

The African Institute for Economic Development and Planning (IDEP) is excited to announce the launch of its flagship course on the Fundamentals of Development Planning. This initiative is part of our commitment to improving public sector management and development planning, aimed at supporting the structural transformation of member States in line with the objectives of the African Union's Agenda 2063 and the United Nations Agenda 2030.
In today’s rapidly evolving global setting, African nations face multifaceted challenges that require innovative and effective development planning to foster sustainable growth and achieve the aspirations outlined in national, continental and global agendas.
The African Union's Agenda 2063 is a strategic framework adopted in 2013, for the socioeconomic
transformation of the continent over the next 50 years. Agenda 2063 aims to transform Africa into a global powerhouse, rooted in Pan-Africanism and the African Renaissance, delivering inclusive and sustainable development for the continent. The 2nd Ten- Year Implementation Plan of Agenda 2063 (STYIP) outlines seven strategic priorities (moonshots) and actions for 2024-2033 to accelerate continental integration and sustainable development. It focuses among other on accelerating economic growth, fostering African integration, enhancing public institutions, promoting peace and African culture and values, and advancing social and environmental goals to achieve Africa's long-term vision of prosperity and unity.
In this context, a well-informed, capable public sector is paramount to steer development initiatives.
The Fundamentals of Development Planning course is designed to equip public sector professionals with the necessary knowledge and skills to direct and shape the future of their nations.
