Practical cooperation has been established between the Agency for Development of Public Service under the President of the Republic of Uzbekistan, the Academy of Public Administration, the Hanns Seidel Foundation, and the Bavarian School of Public Policy.

For the first time in Uzbekistan, a joint educational program titled “Mayors Training School” has been implemented in collaboration with international partners.

The program aims to develop a reserve of managerial personnel in public and state administration, considering modern requirements for professional knowledge and leadership competencies.

Fifty-six candidates were selected to participate in the program based on KPI indicators from among the personnel reserve for district (city) hokims positions. The trainees underwent six weeks of in-person instruction at the Academy, followed by eight weeks of self-guided workplace-based learning, two weeks of internship in ministries, and two weeks in local hokimiyats.

At the conclusion of the training, participants prepared project proposals focused on the socio-economic development of their respective districts (or cities) and defended them before a review commission.

The joint training program has been completed.

A certificate award ceremony for participants who completed all program modules was held at the Public Administration Academy. The leadership and representatives of relevant government bodies and partner organizations attended the event.
