Shiraka objectives
This training on Local Governance is part of the Shiraka Programme developed by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The programme seeks to support sustainable democratic transition in the Middle East and North Africa by training senior public officials on matters relevant to the region. It does this by creating networks between professionals and improving bilateral relations between Dutch line ministries and their respective colleagues from the MENA-region.
