August 18: Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) organized a seminar for “Enhancing the Capacity of Human Resources in Local Governance” in the capital on August 16. JICA informed that it was the first public seminar organized as part of JICA Nepal’s four-year technical cooperation project to Local Development Training Academy (LDTA) which was initiated in January 2016.

The purpose of the project is to enhance both the human resource and institutional capacity of LDTA and its regional centers by establishing a comprehensive training delivery mechanism that enables quality training to Local Governments’ personnel, reads a press statement issued by JICA.

The participants, including officials from the Ministry of Federal Affairs and Local Development (MoFALD), local government institutions, Nepali scholars of social and political science as well as development partners were given a valuable opportunity to engage with the progress achieved by LDTA and its regional centers during the first 18 months of the JICA project, the statement said.

Special keynote lectures given by the leading scholars from Japan, Dr Katsuaki Suzuki of Kumamoto University and Dr Kenichi Kubota of Kansai University, introduced the current trends and international standard of instructional design and action research respectively.

Presentation by MoFALD emphasized on the need of capacity development of the local service provider in the new and emerging context of the local governance in which LDTA should play an important role.
