The Role of Technical Training in Development

Abstract

This year 1998, I had the opportunity to spend one month and some weeks in St. Joseph's Vocational Training Centre in Khartoum-Sudan. This centre is run by the Salesians of Don Bosco. This report is the result of my experience and it is an assessment of the project by being involved in it, after observing and trying to interview Fathers, Students, Teachers and the Workers, as well as those who came to my assistance. However, I feel that due to my short involvement in this project I do not have a deep understanding and evaluation of the whole set up which a paper of this kind would require. This experience has been very meaningful and enriching to me as a Comboni Brother. I think this will help me to understand how a project is set or runs.
