The Eastern and Southern African Management Institute (ESAMI) is a Pan African Regional Management Development Centre. It is a service and market-oriented institution offering high level specialized management training and development programme, consultancy and action-oriented management research services. ESAMI’s target clients are government, NGOs, parastatals, private sector and national training institutions in the Eastern and Southern African region.

Increasingly, ESAMI continues to attract clients from West Africa especially Ghana, Nigeria, Gambia, Sierra Leone, Liberia and Cameroon. Participants from Asia, notably Bangladesh, India and Pakistan have also patronised our programmes. ESAMI is a leader in the industry in Sub-Saharan Africa.

In may, 1997 the UN Economic Commission for Africa officially designated ESAMI as ‘The African Centre of Excellence in Management Development". With this recognition and enhanced mandate, fresh challenges were posed to the Institute.
