Provision of training is one of the forms of implementation of the Strategy of Polish development cooperation, adopted by the Council of Ministers on October 21 2003. Under the Strategy, the main tasks of Polish development cooperation include sharing of Polish systemic transformation experience and support for the development of public administration. Accordingly, since 2006 the MFA - in collaboration with the Polish Institute of International Affairs - has organized professional training for civil servants, with particular reference to young diplomats from the developing countries and those in transition. Special emphasis is placed during the courses on the transfer of Polish experience relating to political and economic transformations. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
