eThekwini - a Learning City in South Africa

I spotted some time after the event that the eThekwini Municipality, which incorporates the city of Durban, in South Africa is positioning itself as a learning city with the launch of the Municipal Institute of Learning (MILE) in December 2010.

This initiative, which is reported as a first in the history of local government on the continent, aims to enhance the capacity and knowledge of local government practitioners in Africa in order to be effective in the delivery of core competencies.
