Netherlands - MENA Partnership (Shiraka) – Phase 1
With the Shiraka programme, the Netherlands supports the development of the public and private sector in the MENA region. In Arabic, Shiraka means partnership. Shiraka focuses on the changing relationship between citizens and government.
The broader programme consists of the following two components:
- Shiraka Training Programme.
- Government to Government (G2G) cooperation.
The Shiraka Training Programme (STP) is an instrument for implementation of bilateral relations between the Netherlands and eligible countries at government level.
The objective is to train senior public and semi-public officials on matters relevant to furthering a sustainable transition in the MENA region. An important aim is to create networks by bringing the participants together in the Netherlands.
The programme also aims to increase and improve bilateral relations between Dutch line ministries and their colleagues in their respective countries. Some training programmes also invite people working for semi-public organizations.
G2G is an instrument to stimulate structural cooperation between governments in order to offer support in solving issues of reciprocal concern. Where relevant, the Dutch business community is actively involved.
