HUMAN RESOURCES PLANNING FOR THE YEMEN ARAB REPUBLIC

The report reviews the YAR"s existing five-year plan for personnel development and terms the plan a "directional" but ultimately inadequate remedy for Yemen"s critical shortage of trained manpower. The report next outlines short- and long-term goals of the proposed HRPF and discusses general issues to be resolved in designing it -- local vs. foreign training, foreign language training, types of training programs, and identification, selection, and placement of trainees. This overview is followed by sections which present specific recommendations and guidelines for the HRPF. These cover such areas as position requirements, workload distribution, program continuity, organizational development, and foreign experts. Detailed criteria for a work plan are enumerated. The report includes a bibliography of works consulted in preparing the report, and diagrams which illustrate the organization of the HRPF.
