Many developing countries are poor and have failed to develop economically. To break the cycle of underdevelopment, technology transfer is considered as a promising alternative. However, the viability of development strategies and benefits from imported technologies greatly depend on their local capabilities in keeping the machines going. In that sense, maintenance capabilities are considered a key development factor for developing countries. This paper is mainly focused on training policy issues related to the development of maintenance practices in middle and low income developing countries. The report suggests some implications for training policies aimed at enhancing maintenance awareness.
