%X The MINDEF Corporate Plan identifies development of human capital as one
of the thrusts for implementation. Conseq~~enttlhye MINDEF allocates about RM
92.7 million annually for training and development of capability. This accounts for
about 12% of the yearly MINDEF Operating Expenditure (OE) Budget for the
year 2006. On a training dollar per head basis spent on trainees, MINDEF has
committed to expend about RM 22,524 / head (trainee) to ensure that the Armed
Forces maintain their cutting edge in defense capability. The program agreement
that is entered into by the program manager (implementer) and the controlling
officer (financier) requires that programs be evaluated for program
appropriateness, effectiveness, efficiency, economy and value for money in
resource usage. Evaluation based on these criteria, it is expected, will allow
program managers the ability to establish the program impact. (Author's abstract)
