Minister Sandra Paulemon Bets on Training Officials to Modernize Public Action

Minister of Planning and External Cooperation (MPCE) Dr. Sandra Paulemon presented her ministry’s main priorities for fiscal year 2026-2027 on November 10, during the second edition of the “Podium Gouvernemental” program.

Two master’s programs to build skills

In the presence of senior ministry officials and students from the Faculty of Law and Economics (FDSE) and the Center for Planning Techniques and Applied Economics (CTPEA), the minister placed particular emphasis on building skills, strengthening the state’s institutional capacity and improving public management through results-based evaluation mechanisms. To put this vision into practice, Sandra Paulemon announced two master’s programs: one devoted to the design and evaluation of public policy, the other to the management of public projects and investments. The programs aim in particular to improve the technical quality of projects included in the national investment portfolio.

CTPEA at the heart of modernizing planning

The MPCE head also highlighted the CTPEA’s strategic role in training and professionalizing young officials who will contribute to the reforms under way in her ministry. Through these initiatives, the minister intends to put the development of human and institutional skills at the heart of modernizing the national planning system.
