Indian Technical and Economic Cooperation (ITEC) Programme
ITEC Programme, instituted in 1964 is Government of India´s flagship capacity building initiative. Under ITEC and its sister programme Special Commonwealth African Assistance Programme (SCAAP), working professionals from 161 countries in Asia, Africa, East Europe, Latin America, the Caribbean as well as Pacific and Small Island Countries are offered unique training courses in different centers of excellence in India.
As a result of different activities under this programme, there is now a visible and growing awareness among other countries about the competence of India as a provider of technical know-how and expertise as well as training opportunities, consultancy services and feasibility studies.
