Since 2018, to support human development in developing countries, ADA University and the Institute for Development and Diplomacy organizes capacity-building course in Azerbaijan named “Advanced Foreign Service Program for Foreign Diplomats” from a number of countries within the framework of cooperation with the Azerbaijan International Development Agency (AIDA) of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. During 2018- 2022, 75 foreign diplomats from 47 countries have been trained in the framework of this program.
The main objective of the program, attended by young, mid-level and senior foreign diplomats, is to develop management and leadership skills.
The program consists of five different modules, covering topics such as international politics, law and organizations, economic and energy issues, public diplomacy, leadership development and Azerbaijani studies. Foreign diplomats participating in this program also get detailed information about our country, its history, policy, geography, and culture.
Program participants are selected through an interview process, among the candidates submitted by the relevant countries.
