Tailor-made Executive Education on Strategic Planning for Algerian government

From 25 January to 5 February 2016 MSM organized a tailor made program for 12 high level civil service employees from the Ministry of Interior and Local Authorities (MILA) in Algeria.

The topic of the program and lectures at MSM was Strategic Planning and KPI Management. The training included various case studies and an assignment in the form of a Back Home Action Plan. During the last days on the program drafts of the Back Home Action Plan were presented and the plans will be completed by the participants upon return in Algeria. MSM will support on distance through counseling over a period of six weeks. The plans will be finalized in a workshop by MSM staff in Algeria.

Since it was a specific wish of the Ministry in Algeria that participants should receive input about the administrative organization in The Netherlands MSM organized work visits to The National Academy for Finance, Economics in The Hague, The Government of Limburg and Municipality Maastricht.

MSM Chairman Mr. René van der Linden gave a presentation about the parliamentary system in the Netherlands, the function of the Senate and important issues related to the EU.
