Our Strategic Alliances in Greece

The orientation and organisation of E.K.D.D.A. educational and training activities are defined in consultation with our Social Partners.

With the apex organisation of Public Servants (A.D.E.D.Y.)

The outcome of the Agreement is a Training Charter which has been ratified by law and is accompanied by a Funding Protocol, according to which 0.5 per thousand of the annual public salary budget will be invested in training activities.

Along with the Social Multi Centre of A.D.E.D.Y., we provide financial support to Public Employees for post-graduate programs (master level), carried out at the Universities of Peloponnese and Macedonia.

Together with A.D.E.D.Y., we envisioned a “Public Administration Research and Innovation Centre” in SE Europe and the Mediterranean, and at the same time we are implementing cross-border activities in the framework of the Community Initiatives Interreg and Equal.

With the Representatives of Prefectural and Local Authorities (E.N.A.E. & K.E.D.K.E.)

In recognition of the vital role of Local Government in local and regional development, we have signed a Collaboration Memorandum with E.N.A.E. At the same time we are cooperating with K.E.D.K.E. for the design and implementation of training programs for elected Local Administration officials.

With Ministries and other Organizations

The objective of this Committee is to monitor and coordinate all educational programs in Public Administration, as well as to unify training methodologies and research foci, in order to improve the quality and effectiveness of Human Capital Development activities in all levels and organisations of the Public Sector.
