EMBASSY AND TRANSPARENCY INTERNATIONAL SEMINAR
Good
Governance: Sharing Good Practice and Lessons Learned
The
British Embassy and the
Representatives
of Government Ministries, International Organisations and Oil companies will
attend the seminar on 6 November. The British Ambassador, Andrew Tucker, will
chair the seminar.
In
his presentation Jeremy Pope will discuss the main pillars of Good Governance.
Based on his experience from around the world, he will outline a methodology
which is designed to assess National Integrity Systems in a more detailed and
objective way than other measurements of good governance.
Sabit
Bagirov, Chairman of the Azerbaijan Chapter of Transparency International, will
also speak at the seminar with a particular emphasis on the oil and gas industry
and the economic impact of expected revenues.
On
7 November, Jeremy Pope will present the methodology for discussion by Local and
International NGOs. This seminar will take place at the NGO Resource Centre.
The
British Ambassador, Andrew Tucker, said: “In
an increasingly global market place, every nation has an interest in promoting
good governance throughout the world. Delivering
effective public service is the duty of all government officers.
Exchanging best practice helps us learn how to perform that task. That is
why the Foreign and Commonwealth Office Global Futures Fund has supported this
seminar.”
