The idea of conducting a training needs assessment (TNA) for the JVA
Financial Accounting System Program (FAS) was suggested at the first meeting
of the Oversight Steering Committee (OSC) held on March 17, 1999. The
exercise would help to assess the kind of skill and calibre of employees present
at JVA that would eventually help in running and supporting FAS once the
program is over. The December 1998 FAS workplan does not include a specific
training needs activity, but it does include training on management leadership
and the use of financial information for decision-making.
