A Review of a Training Program Using Microcomputers in Niger

A new and important task in assisting developing countries is the transfer of microcomputer technology applied to mineral exploration and mining. With this objective in mind, three micro- computers have been introduced in Niger and a training program has been put into place. The core of the program consists of two seminars in Niamey, Niger, after which the attendants will be able to operate a microcomputer and use a small library of application software.
