About this learning event

Strengthening governance and accountability is crucial for SEE countries to establish stability in their economic, political, and social environments. Managerial accountability ensures responsible and efficient use of public funds for their intended objectives. However, it requires significant cultural and managerial changes, along with motivated and skilled management ready to make operational decisions and take risks.

The main objective of these webinar series is to raise awareness and understanding of how managerial accountability can be practically enhanced in public sector institutions.
