Introduction:

Public sector institutions play a critical role in delivering services, safeguarding public resources, and ensuring good governance. As stewards of public trust, these institutions must operate with transparency, accountability, and integrity. Effective oversight is the cornerstone of ensuring these principles are upheld across government agencies and public service bodies.

The “Oversight in the Public Sector” training program, designed by Global Horizon Training Center, equips professionals with the knowledge, tools, and techniques required to implement and strengthen oversight mechanisms within their institutions.
