In public institutions, problem related to facility, participants, administration, lack of seriousness on the parts of the trainees, trainers, lack of communication with the superiors on training and different expectations from training are major obstacles which can create negative progress about training. Amidst the shortcomings there are numerous benefits that can be accrued through training and development and employee productivity, employee satisfaction, organizational efficiency and effectiveness. The purpose of this study was to assess the effect of training and development strategies on Organizational performance in Central Bank of South Sudan, Juba. Objectives of the Study were; to determine how training and development strategies that have been adopted by Central Bank of Southern Sudan affect its performance and to establish the challenges experienced by Central Bank of Southern Sudan when implementing training and development. The research was conducted at Central Bank of South Sudan which is situated in Juba. The data was obtained from employees of the bank from both the management and Staff from different departments. The descriptive research design was used in the study. The target population was 111 employees while the sample population was 41 employees. The findings showed that several training and development strategies have been adopted by the Central Bank of South Sudan. The extent of strategy adoption was however different. The study found organizational culture, policies and leadership style influenced strategies adoption. The finding showed that training and development strategies increase staff motivation, increase employee satisfaction hence increasing productivity of employees. The study recommends that evaluation of the training methods should be done before the training is given so that the impact of the training on performance ismeasured. Also, training is an investment to the employees by the organization, and should, therefore, bring returns to the organization. On the area for further study, an expanded study which covers not only the Central Bank of South Sudan but also related banks be carried out as this will help to assess whether the findings of the current study could have universal application.enTraining and development strategiesOrganizational performanceCentral Bank of South SudanTraining and development strategies and challenges influencing Organizational Performance: A Case Study of Central Bank of South SudanArticle
