eNAP, IFAP partner to boost development of New Caledonian civil service

The École nationale d’administration publique (eNAP) and New Caledonia’s Institut de formation à l’administration publique (IFAP) have entered a partnership agreement to support the development of the New Caledonian civil service. Under this agreement, the two institutions will facilitate the regional integration of the New Caledonian civil service, while still preserving the unique national identity of the Oceanic territory. The partnership is also viewed as a means of combatting the geographical and professional isolation of New Caledonia’s institutions and employees. Together, eNAP and IFAP plan to design a certification course for New Caledonian executives and senior civil servants, develop continuing professional development tools, and create opportunities for knowledge exchange, among other initiatives.
