International Training Programmes

SIPU International offers Advanced International Training Programmes (ITP) of strategic importance for social and economic development in targeted countries. The programs are financed by the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency (Sida), as part of its bilateral development assistance.  The programmes are designed for key individuals: qualified to participate in reform processes of importance on different levels. They have to be supported by their institution and hold positions in government departments, agencies, other public sector organisations, CSO or business with a mandate to run processes of change. SIPU International supports and strengthens the participants' institutions own plans for change on organizational and sectoral levels. The training should not be regarded as individual competence training.

The methodology is based on the assumption that participating countries wish to carry out changes and are willing to invest own resources to achieve these changes. SIPU's methodological approach is participative training focused on supporting the participants own plans or projects for change. Against this background, the training programmes are designed for persons qualified to participate in reform processes and holds a position in the home organisation with mandate to run processes of change. SIPU International executes five ITP programs in several areas:

  • Human Rights towards Gender Equality
  • Local Democracy and Self Governance
  • Local Environmental Management in Urban Areas
  • Strategic Business Management
  • Public Sector Growth
