On March 18, 2014, the School of Public Administration has started its five professional development programs for public servants:  «Modern anti-corruption methods in the performance of government and local self-government bodies», «Government civil service», «Professional ethics and ethical conduct of public servants», «Personnel policy and HR management», and «Accounting and accountability in the performance of  government and local self-government bodies».  Each of the programs consists of 72 academic hours. During the next 9 days public servants will attend various lectures, participate in round tables and workshops, and take a final test. The efficiency of the knowledge and skills they will gain will be also evaluated two months later at their workplace.
