September 6, 2010 in News by Moderator Marlies
Last weekend five new young civil servants from five different countries arrived in the Netherlands to participate in the Talent for Governance program. They will attend the Local Service Delivery & MDG’s, organized by the The Hague Academy for Local Governance. The five talents: Ryan Barcelo, Dickson Baidoo, Irene Achola Origa, Bangun Panji and Eren Derya will, after the course, participate in a short internship at three Dutch municipalities and the Province of Drenthe.
The course Local Service Delivery & MDG’s focuses on local services, which have a huge impact on our daily lives and well-being. We can think of drinking water, waste management and basic health care. During the two weeks course, participants try to answer questions as: How can we ensure that basic services reach the poorest? How can financial management of services be organized in a transparent and democratic way? How can partnerships with NGOs and the private sector help local governments to operate more effectively? And, what are the particular challenges for delivering services in violent-prone situations?
After the course, the talents will do an one-week internship at the municipalities of Den Haag, Huizen, Steenwijkerland and the Province of Drenthe.
We wish the talents a fruitful local governance experience!
The Talents will share all their present and future work experiences on the Talent for Governance network. You get the chance to become acquainted with the Talents, share knowledge and ideas with them.
