Main activities:

• National Training Strategy (NTS)
• Performance Management Programme (PMP)
• Leadership Academy Programme (LAP)
• European Label for Governance’ Excellence (ELOGE)

The Creative Governance project funded by the EEA Norway grants continued, and was extended until October 2016. In 2015, the main activities included 2 stages of the LAP for the mayors and executive secretaries, on the development of performance management indicators and on the preparation of the PMP manual, which was presented to all stakeholders at the end of the year. In May, a study visit to Norway was organised in co-operation with the Norwegian Association of local and regional authorities (KS). The Maltese mayors learnt about the Norwegian experience in performance management and the implementation of the ELoGE.

In 2016, the third stage of LAP, and the final project component of ELoGE were implemented.
