Shiraka Training Programme — courses for public-sector professionals

Netherlands Enterprise Agency (Shiraka) · Netherlands

Dutch government courses for public-sector staff. A Local Governance line closes before 26 November 2026, with periods in January–February and April 2027. Older 2026 brochures name Tunisia; that line’s country list was not in the page text. Travel cover depends on an OECD-DAC list the page does not print.
