Towards a healthier world - change is possible
In cooperation with Lund University Commissioned Education, the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency (Sida) offers, as part of its bilateral development assistance, International Training Programmes of strategic importance to the social and economic development of cooperating countries based on identified priorities and needs.
The aim is to contribute to
capacity development and processes of change in partner countries and
other developing countries by offering key persons training programmes
in subject areas given priority in Swedish development cooperation, in
which Swedish expertise is in demand, and in which use is made of
experience from countries at different stages of development.
Examples
of areas are trade and industry, democracy and human rights, the
environment and infrastructure.
Sida’s international training
programmes – each with 20–30 participants – have a duration of three to
eight weeks. The programmes are
open to candidates from lower and lower-middle income developing
countries. Training programmes are designed for experienced executives
in middle and top management positions in their respective
organisations. Minimum qualifications are a university degree and
relevant working experience.
Lund University Commissioned Education, as being the appointed organiser, provides among other things:
- professional programme management and administration
- employment of lecturers and guest lecturers
- study-visits
- travel management
- pre-departure orientation
- accommodation for participants
