| The overall goal of the course is: To enhance
the capacities of key senior government officials in the
target countries to ensure that the policies and
programmes of their governments are more sustainable —
environmentally, socially and economically.
The objectives supporting this goal are:
- build relationships between the various
authorities needed to implement sustainable
development policy (gathering officials from
different ministries and agencies);
- establish a high-level network of government
officials within CEE that work towards the
implementation of sustainable development;
- support participants as they build substance
into their policy-making on sustainable development
and develop and gain an overview of the approaches
that can be taken; and
- develop personal commitments to change among the
participants.
The course is open to senior civil servants working
in ministries and agencies competent for, and
influential in, the introduction of the various
dimensions of sustainability into policy making and
implementation – including, but not limited to,
environment, water, energy, health, regional development,
transport, economy, interior and agriculture.
Participants will be selected according to their
responsibilities relating to the “three pillars” of
sustainable development, with the aim of having a
topically and geographically diverse group.
Through this course, participants will form the
relationships with other authorities needed to implement
sustainable development policy; become part of a
high-level network of government officials that work
towards the implementation of sustainable development;
learn how to build substance into their policy making on
sustainable development; and gain an overview of the
approaches that can be taken. |
