The paper emphasizes the importance of management in engineering and states the need for formalized education and training in management today. The content of some of the courses, seminars, and conferences covered at the English Electric Staff Training Centre at Dunchurch is then discussed together with some of the projects and exercises used. Some of the difficulties of running such a centre and ascertaining the real training needs are then mentioned. The importance of evaluation on a proper feedback basis by the use of management-by-objectives principles is also considered.

Abstract. This paper represents a perspective on the education and training needs related to hydrology and water resources science within the sub-Saharan Africa region and discusses the requirements of the region, some of the relatively recent developments and initiatives and some of the constraints that exist and remain difficult to surmount. The requirements include the development of academic research capacity and technical skill for both the private and public sector at a variety of levels. Some of the constraints that exist include a lack of adequate funding, lack of follow-up after short training courses, lack of institutional support to continue training, and competition for major water resources development projects from organizations outside the region. One of the main conclusions is that to sustain both educational and practical expertise in hydrology and water resources science within the region there is a need to build a "critical mass" of local expertise. Part of this could be achieved by increasing networking within the region and promoting the sharing of information, tools and expertise. There is also a need to promote institutional support.
