The National Center for Performance Measurement “Adaa” implemented in 2018 a series of training programs in managing and measuring performance.
The training targeted public sector employees, including ministries and funds, across Saudi Arabia.
Over the past year, the Center has covered more than 132,000 training hours through 200 courses to qualify and develop human resources in the field of performance measurement and management for more than 5,700 public sector employees from 28 government bodies.
Adaa spokesperson Mohammed al-Nafeesa explained that by holding these training sessions, the Center has sought to improve the culture of performance measurement in the public sector, enhance the capabilities of employees and transfer international expertise.
He pointed out that its courses covered a number of topics such as "fundamentals of key performance indicators, strategic management, advanced applications in key performance indicators, change management and strategic planning courses."
Regarding the total number of trainees from the public sector, who benefited from the training programs provided by the Center during 2017 and 2018, the official spokesman said they amounted to about 8,000 employees.
The Center offers training courses in coordination and follow-up with the public bodies that provide it with the names of candidates that will attend.
Adaa schedules their attendance according to who registered first and the availability of seats, and then sends invitations to candidates according to the date of each training course in different cities across the Kingdom.
After attending the courses and passing the tests, the trainees receive their certificates.
Nafeesa also highlighted the importance of training and knowledge development in improving the performance of public sector bodies and the quality of their work.
