Good Governance and Gender in Public Service Delivery

The Hague Academy conducted a training for the staff of the Institute of Public Administration (IPA) – Zanzibar on ‘Good Governance and Gender in Public Service Delivery’ in 2013. IPA will be better able to support its target groups in the implementation of the Zanzibar Public Service Delivery Reform Programme, which aims to improve standards for good governance and gender issues within the public service.
