PPKN Programme Continues at the Foundation
The next training session within the Foundation's Public Policy Knowledge Network (PPKN) started on 10 December 2007.
The PPKN programme, managed jointly by the GFSIS and the Canadian Bureau for International Education (CBIE) with funding from the Canadian International Development Agency (CIDA), began teaching and training policy analysis teams from five Georgian state ministries within a specially formulated policy development curriculum in September 2007.
Professor Allan Maslove, of Carleton University's School of Public Policy and Administration (Ottawa), will be conducting classes in cost benefit analysis and programme evaluation during the four-day session during time which he will meet privately with each of the 22 participants within the five teams in order to assess progress and provide guidance during their work on their policy papers.
The PPKN has trained more than 100 Georgian public servants since its inception in 2003 with over 80 policy papers researched and written. The current session will conclude on 13 December 2007.
