Ramallah, February 04th, 2010 – The General Personnel Council (GPC), in cooperation with the Government of Italy and the United Nations Development Programme held a graduation ceremony for the first group of Palestinian civil servants to complete the Civil Service Leadership Development training programme. The 200 trained personnel, 46 of whom are women, represent a new generation of civil service leaders.

The main objective of the programme is to train 1200 senior civil servants (800 in the West Bank and 400 in Gaza) in leadership and administrative competencies to enable them to implement professional development plans at their workplace, discuss jointly problems and solutions, deliver better services and guide change within their organizations. It will also facilitate senior civil service career development through on-the-jobtraining, coaching and mentoring, thus allowing the civil servants who attend the leadership development programme to improve their approaches towards work.
