As training and research school that aspires to meet international training and research standards and satisfy modern service delivery expectations, SMPA has developed key success guarantying pillars and guiding principles that are summarized in the following core values.
We believe that the civil service is the life blood of any government. It is because; the implementation of government policies and strategies is highly dependent on the courage and passion of the civil service. When the capacity of the civil service to discharge its responsibility is low, the implementation of government policies and strategies will fall in a trap.
In today’s increasingly competitive environment, where people are often the key differentiator, government institutions need to think beyond the norm and continually raise the level of talent and skills within their institutions and organisations. That is why we are all about creating and maintaining short-term and long-term training partnerships with our clients and training participants.
Our training and development solutions include executive coaching, HR consulting, nationals’ development and leadership development packages, ensuring training, research, and consultancy in administration and management disciplines for public service, private sector, and civil society organizations personnel.
Our guiding philosophy is to work with institutions to understand their training and development needs, and to develop and deliver effective training solutions so that they become truly high performance organisations
