Leadership and Changing Mindsets

This in-person workshop, co-designed with the National Institute of Public Administration (INAP), and with the support of the UN Resident Coordinator’s Office, will contribute to the strengthening of capacities of the Guatemala public sector to better understand the important role they play in implementing the SDGs with an emphasis on changing mindsets for innovation in the provision of government services.

More specifically, the objective of the workshop taking place in the city Guatemala City, is to support the INAP trainers and technical team on the practical use of the Changing Mindsets toolkit, part of the Curriculum on Governance for the SDGs to help them train Guatemalan government public servants with innovative mindsets and behaviors to better address current and future challenges related to SDGs implementation. INAP’s first use of the toolkit is aimed at civil servants from the Ministry of Finance in charge of supporting small and mid-size enterprises and civil servants of government agencies which work, and are part of supporting, the achievement of SDGs 8, 9, 10, and 16.
