Purpose statement:

The purpose of this module is to equip students with a sound understanding of the different concepts and principles in archives and records management so that they can apply these (concepts and principles) in managing records that promote transparency, accountability and the protection of human rights.
In addition, the need of ensuring records and archives are created and kept for a range of purposes is the primary responsibilities of records and archives professionals in a wide range of sectors. The constantly changing needs of the information management environment make it crucial for records and archives practitioners to identify, retrieve, preserve and conserve information through well- structured record classifications systems, record keeping systems and to deal with changes in technology. Therefore, this workshop assists people both entering and already practicing practitioners to maintain and improve their competencies in executing their records and archives related functions.
