Applications Now Open for Matra Rule of Law Training: “Public Finance and Procurement”
The NHC is now accepting applications for the online Matra Rule of Law Training: “Public Finance and Procurement”, to be held 6 April – 7 May 2021. The deadline for submitting applications is 28 February 2021, 12.00 pm (CET).
The training on Public Finance and Procurement is intended for civil servants with responsibilities in public finance management and public procurement, at the local or national level. Participants will be expected to offer valuable and active contributions to the learning process and to be in a position to implement the newly gained knowledge and insights in their respective organisations.
The training programme aims to increase understanding of the Dutch standards relating to public procurement and public finance management, and of factors that determine the legitimacy, integrity and transparency of the processes. Special attention will be paid to obstacles and dilemmas in the implementation process and how to overcome them.
We accept applications from civil servants from Albania, Armenia, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Georgia, Kosovo, Moldova, Montenegro, North Macedonia, Serbia, Turkey, and Ukraine. The Matra Rule of Law Training Programme is designed to strengthen institutional capacity in the field of rule of law within government organisations. To this end, seven training programmes are offered per year, each introducing the participants to best practices in a wide range of rule of law themes.
Through interactive sessions combining theory and practical skills, policy advisors, members of the judiciary and other civil servants working in the government and justice sectors acquire the knowledge and skills necessary to drive reforms in their home countries. In addition, by taking part in the training programme, participants become part of a large transnational network of alumni, lecturers and relevant government departments in the Netherlands and in the target countries. This network offers a platform for learning, exchange and collaboration.
The Matra Rule of Law Training programme is designed and delivered by Leiden Law School, the Netherlands Helsinki Committee, and The Hague Academy for Local Governance. It is financed by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Netherlands.
