Monitoring the annual number of public officials receiving relevant qualifications is crucial for assessing the government’s commitment to professionalizing the public service and building institutional capacity. By investing in the education and training of public officials, the government ensures that its workforce is equipped with the necessary skills and knowledge to address the challenges of public administration and deliver high-quality services to citizens. |
| Method of Computation |
To compute the “Annual Number of Public Officials Receiving Relevant Qualifications Through VIPAM and Other Government Programs,” first collect data on the number of public officials who have successfully completed qualification courses offered by VIPAM and other government-sponsored training programs within the specified year. Finally, count the total number of public officials who received these qualifications to determine the indicator value. Formula: Total Number of Qualified Public Officials = Sum of Number of Officials Receiving Relevant Qualifications in One Year |
