**Analysis**
The text appears to be discussing a project aimed at assessing the training and manpower needs in the communication sector, particularly in land-locked African countries. The project involves a survey to identify the training requirements for non-technical staff and provide courses in specific areas. This suggests that the project is focused on human resource development and capacity building in the communication sector, which is essential for economic development.
