New Delhi: Senior officials from SAARC countries will study and deliberate upon India’s performance management system at a two-day workshop that starts Tuesday.
The workshop, to be inaugurated by Cabinet Secretary K.M. Chandrashekhar, will be attended by senior officials of member countries of South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation (SAARC) –India, Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Bhutan, the Maldives, Nepal, Pakistan and Sri Lanka.
“The deliberations over the next two days would help in capacity building of senior government representatives for setting up a government performance management system in the SAARC countries,” an official press release said.
The idea of the workshop was mooted at the meeting of the cabinet secretaries of member countries of SAARC in November 2009, where there was “considerable interest to India’s swift implementation of a sophisticated Performance Monitoring and Evaluation System for government departments”.
