Leather industry association and UNIDO run successful course in Tanzania
19/06/2014
In all, 17 young people completed the course at the Dar es Salaam Institute of Technology in the city of Mwanza.
In conjunction with hands-on, practical training, much of the information available to participants on the day came from the new web portal UNIDO set up in April to provide widespread access to reports, research and other work carried out by its leather panel over the last 40 years. UNIDO has made it clear it believes the information from its portal will work best in conjunction with practical training.
Ivan Kral from UNIDO’s Agro-Industries Technology Unit said afterwards that this method would help provide opportunities to students from more remote regions who do not always have access to training in conventional institutions. He said: “With the help of new technology such as digital imaging, we are able to improve and increase learning efficiency and help achieve technology transfer, which is one of our priorities.”
