The Centre for Development Innovation at the Wageningen University is organizing the ‘Local Economic Development’ from 23 September 2013 to 4 October 2013 in the Netherlands.
The course is aimed at catalysing vibrant rural economies. It focuses on the changing roles of rural policies and services in sub-Saharan Africa. It introduces the participants to a set of five generic types of interventions that boost local market demand. Each generic intervention type will be illustrated by real, life cases in the course by the case owners themselves. The case illustrations will assist in appreciating the rigidity of reality. The participants will also practice with a tool through which newly proposed interventions can be tested on the likely impact these generate.
This regional course is designed for mid-career professionals of government departments, non-governmental and civil society organisations, business associations, development agencies, universities and colleges for higher education, and for other professionals working in the domain of market-driven local economic development.
