Abstract
Interviews with informal entrepreneurs and workers in Africa invariably bring out that most of them have acquired their skills through self-learning and on-thejob training in small, mostly informal workshops. Such a transfer of skills and knowledge usually forms part of indigenous systems of apprenticeship training. In this chapter the role of such training for the IME sector will be discussed.
