Australia Supports Training for Philippine Government Leaders
Sixty-eight executives from the National Economic Development Authority (NEDA) completed a leadership and management skills training course with support from the Australian Government. From undersecretaries to regional directors, they all undertook a customized program for government leaders. It was delivered by the Civil Service Commission’s (CSC) Civil Service Institute based on a course designed by the Australian Government.

In 2017, the Australian Government funded the customization of Franklin Covey’s 7 Habits of Highly Effective Managers to 7 Habits of Highly Effective Government Leaders. This customization made the course more relevant to the Philippine public sector and allowed for the local production of materials. The Australian government also funded the certification of trainers and facilitators from the CSC.
This year, the Australian government supports the leadership and management skills training course opened by NEDA Secretary Ernesto Pernia and Australian Embassy’s Deputy Head of Mission Mat Kimberley with the affirmation that the value of the training provided will help AmBisyon Natin 2040.
