SAP Africa and the World Bank recently announced their intention to develop a framework for collaboration on skills development. The first phase of the skills development initiative is expected to be implemented later this year, and follows SAP’s launch earlier this year of the “Skills for Africa” program, an initiative to facilitate development of information and communications technology (ICT) skills in Africa.

SAP Africa CEO Pfungwa Serima signed the document while in the United States for a series of meetings focused on refining synergies between African operations and the African objectives of the World Bank. For more information, read the press release from SAP Africa.
