NCGG is conducting a Special Training Programme for the Senior Civil Servants of Gambia.
The Special Training Programme for Gambian Civil Servants who are decision making level such as Permanent Secretaries and their Deputies aims at equipping with the cutting-edge knowledge, skills and tools to deliver and design effective public policy in an increasingly complex and inter-dependent world. It is expected that this will achieve good governance and ultimately sustainable development apart from providing a rich cross country experience so that there is no need to reinvent the wheel.
Effective dissemination and sharing of knowledge and experiences are necessary for governments across the globe to take full and complete benefits of these emerging concepts in good governance and public policy. This can be ensured by proper sharing of existing knowledge resources at various levels both nationally and internationally between various governments as the world is coming closer in the present day arena. It becomes all the more important as good governance and effective public policy have been internationally recognised as the foundation for successful achievement of a wide range of international and domestic policy objectives, including most items on the United Nations development agenda.
The Programme aims at enabling its participants to gain the requisite knowledge and skills for designing and implementing effective public policy to achieve good governance.
To create value for each participant, the programme will :
- Provide a platform for policy dialogue and knowledge sharing, thereby highlighting the role of good governance and public policy for sustainable development.
- Facilitate the sharing of lessons, cross-country experiences and best practices on governance, field administration and public policy in the region.
