Talent for Governance enables ambitious, young civil
servants working for local governments in developing and transitional countries to follow an international Talentprogramme in the
Netherlands. This Talentprogramme consists of participation in a training
course at The Hague Academy for Local Governance in The Netherlands, followed
by an internship in a Dutch municipality or province and a Networking event.
Talent for Governance pays for travel and accommodation
costs, meals and participation fee. We do also ask a small contribution from
our talents, once selected. This shows their commitment and their willingness
to also invest in themselves.
The training course attended during the talent programme,
gives young civil servants a chance to experience policy practices from a local
perspective. Experts in the field of local governance practice will be guiding
them through this experience. During the course, the talents will gain
knowledge and skills which will be useful back in their workplace.
They'll work
to write a Back-Home-action-plan in which they incorporate a real-live-case
from from their own community. The real-life-case project proposal needs to be
submitted with the application form, and the employer needs to approve of the
project.
