The Institute for International Training and Development (IITD) is a
non-profit organization founded in 2005 with the purpose of developing capacity for Africa and the world.
We aspire and are committed to the training and development of human capital in the realization of the United Nations' millennium development goals.
If Africa and the developing World aspire to meet the United Nations Millennium Development Goals (MDG), they must be transformed to become self reliant within the global economy of the 21st century. Africa and Africans must do so by sheer hard work and a renewed commitment towards a realization of this goal.
The fundamental problem in many of the countries is situated in the lack of capacity to face the numerous challenges brought about by poor leadership in the nation-states, lack of human resources, and transparency in governance of its people, low literacy levels, population growth, poverty and diseases.
It is with this understanding that the Institute for International Training and Development (IITD) was founded in 2005 by Professor Chris Igodan, PhD and Mr. Solomon Aiyedero, MS.
The focus of IITD is on building and developing human capacity through effective partnerships and linkages with governments, municipal and community; as well as institutions and organizations.
