“In partnership with the Ministry of External affairs (MEA), the NCGG has taken up the responsibility to build the capacities of civil servants of developing countries,” the NCGG said in a statement on May 7.
“So far, it (NCGG) has imparted training to civil servants of 15 countries viz. Bangladesh, Kenya, Tanzania, Tunisia, Seychelles, Gambia, Maldives, Sri Lanka, Afghanistan, Laos, Vietnam, Bhutan, Myanmar, Nepal and Cambodia,” it said and added that these trainings were found to be highly useful by the officers from different countries.
The NCGG has also been involved in capacity building of civil servants from various states in the country, the statement said.
