Ministry of Local Government and Law Enforcement Agency in Lakes State, in partnership with the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), has launched a three-month training program for local government administrators.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n The training aims to strengthen the capacity of local government administration in service delivery.<\/p>\n Kaman Makuenyar, the chairperson of the specialized committee on local government, peace, and security in the Lakes State Transitional Assembly, expressed his appreciation for the initiative.<\/p>\n “I want to start by thanking the Ministry and the Government of Lakes State for initiating this important training, and I also want to recognize the longstanding support from UNDP,” he said.<\/p>\n Makuenyar stressed the importance of the opportunity for the participants and encouraged them to make the most of it.<\/p>\n “This kind of training and these opportunities are very limited, and if any of you have been selected, you must take it seriously and learn from it,” he said.<\/p>\n “We, the politicians, are the policymakers, but you are the ones who will implement them. I believe this training will change the image of our governance and the rule of law in the counties and local administration.”<\/p>\n United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) Resident Representative, Dominic Sam stated that, “This is a key intervention of our mission to foster sustainable development, peace, and prosperity across the community.”<\/p>\n He acknowledged the government’s dedication to empowering local government structures and the efforts of UNDP partners in supporting the program.<\/p>\n Sam explained that the training is designed to equip the local government administrators with the necessary skills, knowledge, and tools to perform their duties effectively and efficiently.<\/p>\n Over the next three months, the participants will engage in comprehensive training models covering areas such as public administration, financial management, conflict resolution, and community engagement.<\/p>\n The Minister of Local Government, Chol Kuotwel Manhom, said, “This is the best thing that has happened to us in Lakes State as a government and as a people.”<\/p>\n He acknowledged the complex environment in which the administrators operate and the need for capacity building to address the various challenges they face.<\/p>\n Manhom expressed gratitude for the UNDP’s support and assured that the state government would provide the necessary accommodations and ensure a conducive environment for the training.<\/p>\n The minister warned the participants not to take the training lightly, as their performance during the training would be used as a yardstick for future assignments, promotions, and evaluations.<\/p>\n He urged the administrators to concentrate, commit themselves, and refrain from any non-compliance, as their actions would have direct consequences on their roles in the counties.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" By Yang Ater Yang Ministry of Local Government and Law Enforcement Agency in Lakes State, in partnership with the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), has launched a three-month training program for local government administrators.
