To whom it may concern,
I would like to give my advice to the programe that, In most developing countries, the governments’ ability to employ is very low. and therefore, there is importance of building capacity to individuals to employ themselvess.
and only by helping to impart knowlege of managing business sectors. You can see, many business investors in developing countries are foreigners, and the natives remains to be watchers in their lands. Meanwhile, World Bank and other allies institutions recommends on the privatization programmes. and even in this progragrames, you find, no support in Programes like MBA.
I advice the program to support the people to study MBA programs for further developments of their nations, and to make more new jobs.
