Preamble

This concept paper gives a brief background to the establishment of African Management Development Institutes Network (AMDIN), which will be launched on the 25- 26 August 2005. The South African Management Development Institute (SAMDI) is playing an active role ahead of other participating Management Development Institutes (MDIs) by virtue of its location in the host country of the launch.

This paper further seeks to highlight some of the activities that AMDIN will engage in, in supporting the New Partnership for Africa’s Development (NEPAD)’s objectives of enhancing the capacity of African Management Development Institutes. This would enable them to provide effective capacity development interventions to public service cadres in their respective countries collaboratively or individually.
