West African Management Development Institutes Network

Z1

The West African Management Development Institutes Network (WAMDEVIN) is a sub-regional network of Management Development Institutions and Business Schools whose interests are human resource building, management consultancy, research and publications in Anglo-phone countries in West Africa with its Secretariat in Nigeria.  These countries are Nigeria, Ghana, Sierra Leone, Gambia, Liberia and Cameroon.

WAMDEVIN Mission

WAMDEVIN’s mission is to harness the enormous potentials which member-institutions could derive from pooling and sharing of the limited expertise in management development, training, research and consultancy that are available in the sub-region, with a view to enhancing the socio-economic prosperity of member countries.

Objectives/Functions

Our main business is:

  • the promotion of collaboration in management training, research, consultancy and publication among member institutions in West Africa;
  • the provision of a veritable platform for pooling and sharing the available limited management expertise and competence that reside in the sub-region with a view to enhancing sub-region self-reliance;
  • to improve the practice of management and ultimately, enhance the socio-economic prosperity of member nations through training, research, consultancy and publications; and
  • to promote the conduct of research into management and development problems facing the sub-region in the hope that by so doing, its member institutions can positively influence public policies by serving as think-tanks to their governments.
