The Global Sharing Movement (Chairperson Kim Hye-kyung) announced on the 4th that it invited civil servants from the central administrative departments of Timor-Leste to Korea and conducted training to strengthen human resource management capabilities in public administration from August 26 to September 4.

A total of 15 civil servants from the Timor-Leste administration, National Institute of Public Administration, and Civil Service Commission participated in this invitation training, which included lectures on civil servant personnel management, visits to the Ministry of Personnel Management, and the Saemaul History Museum.

This project is part of the Korea International Cooperation Agency (KOICA)'s global training program, through which the Global Sharing Movement focuses on improving the quality of public services in Timor-Leste and strengthening the human resource management capabilities of senior, mid-level managers, and working-level civil servants through three phases of civil servant training from 2023 to 2025.

The goal of this training was for Timor-Leste civil servants to learn advanced cases of public administration through Korea's public sector human resource management examples and, based on this, develop policy implementation plans applicable to the public sector in Timor-Leste.

During the training, the civil servants attended lectures on various topics such as public human resource management strategies, job-centered appointment systems, efficient performance management, and civil servant ethics. In particular, they deeply studied Korea's regional development model through lectures on local public governance centered on the Saemaul Undong (New Village Movement) case in Korea.

Additionally, they visited the Ministry of Personnel Management and the Saemaul History Museum to observe the actual operation of central government personnel administration and examples of digital personnel management, and had the opportunity to directly confirm the importance of local administration through the history and achievements of the Saemaul Undong. At the end of the training, workshops and consulting sessions were held based on the lectures and visits, allowing each participant to prepare concrete implementation plans that can be directly applied to civil servant personnel management in their own country.

A representative of the Global Sharing Movement stated, "Through this training, Timor-Leste civil servants studied Korea's public administration cases and established concrete plans that can be applied to their own administrative systems," adding, "The implementation plans derived from this are expected to lead to tangible improvements in public services within Timor-Leste."
