WANJU- From November 17 to 19, 2020, LOGODI will carry out an onsite training program for more than 100 Ugandan government officials. The purpose of the program is to respond to the training needs of the Republic of Uganda by sharing Korea's experiences in local government innovation and regional development with the Ugandan government officials.
Since 2012, LOGODI has been working with the Ugandan Government and has operated a customized invitational program five times with 103 Ugandan officials.
Due to the continued spread of the COVID-19, this year LOGODI has converted the program into an online format. Upon the request of the Ugandan government, LOGODI modified the primary purpose of the program and changed its name to "Strengthening the Capacity of Newly Created Cities in Uganda for Sustainable Service Delivery."
In this regard, LOGODI exclusively prepared and allocated special lectures in topics of e-Government for Good Governance, National Development & Leadership, Inter-governmental Cooperation, Regional Development, and Responses to the COVID-19.
In his opening remarks, President Lee In-jae expressed his hope that this program helps the participants to bring up ideas and insights suitable for the newly created local governments in Uganda.
In reply remarks, the Permanent Secretary, Mrs. Catherine B. Musingwiire stated her wish that the knowledge and experiences from this year's training program lay the foundation for the strengthened capacity of local government officials as well as a developed system of local administration in Uganda.
