The intensive 2–week programme also helped them to update their knowledge and skills with emerging digital tools and Best Practices of Good Governance.

In partnership with the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA), NCGG has taken up the responsibility to build the capacities of Civil Servants of various developing countries. So far, it has imparted training to over 3,500 civil servants from 15 countries viz. Bangladesh, Kenya, Tanzania, Tunisia, Seychelles, Gambia, Maldives, Sri Lanka, Afghanistan, Laos, Vietnam, Bhutan, Myanmar, Nepal and Cambodia. This training was found to be highly useful by the participating officers of different countries. Also, NCGG has been involved in the capacity building of Civil Servants from various states in the country.

These programmes are much sought after and as desired by the MEA, NCGG is expanding its capacity to accommodate a higher number of Civil Servants from more countries as demand is on the rise. In 2021-22, NCGG conducted 8 programmes and 236 civil servants participated. This was trebled in 2022-23 and NCGG organised 23 programmes and 736 civil servants attended. For the year 2023 –24, NCGG has planned a 3-fold increase in this programme and 55 such programmes will be held to accommodate 2,130 civil servants.

NCGG’s capacity-building initiatives for Civil Servants, both domestic and of other developing countries, aim to promote citizen-centric public policies, good governance, and enhanced service delivery to improve the quality of life of citizens by reaching out to the last person.

The NCGG was set up in 2014 by the Government of India as an apex-level institution under the auspices of the Ministry of Personnel, Public Grievances & Pensions.
