Modernising Civil Service For National Development
By James Kon

Bandar Seri Begawan - Japan is going to send 14 participants to a seminar on Modernising the Civil Service in Alignment with National Development Goals, which is being jointly conducted by the Eastern Regional Organisation for Public Administration (EROPA) and Public Service Department of the Prime Minister's Office from November 13 to 17.

The Japanese delegation will be headed by Mr Yoshida Satoshi, President, Local Autonomy College, Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications.

Japan as an original member country of EROPA, which was established in 1960, takes an active role.

As one of the significant dedications from Japan to EROPA, the EROPA Local Government Centre was established in October 1964 in Tokyo.

It is hosting a training programme to provide theories and practical knowledge on local administration mainly in the EROPA region.

Since 1964 to date, the centre has received 479 trainees from 55 countries.

Apart from the two-month training programme, it is also active in publications and studies on the local administration system. -- Courtesy of Borneo Bulletin
