From October 12 to 21, 2020, LOGODI has carried out the first round of the 3-year (2020-2022) customized program for government officials of the Republic of Peru, named 'Experience and Challenges for the Management of Innovation in the Generation of Public Value,' with the sponsorship of KOICA.

Lately, Latin America has increasingly been asking for cooperation with Korea on the e-Government system and seeing a growing demand. Currently, the Peruvian government implemented the Civil Service Reform to modernize the public function and strengthen the public officials to serve the citizens systematically. Therefore, LOGODI conducted the first 3-year program starting in 2016 and completing successfully in 2018.

Since 2017, LOGODI has an MOU with the National Authority for Civil Service (SERVIR) under the Presidency of the Council of Ministers. It is LOGODI’s first MOU in Latin America for a mutual aim toward exchange and cooperation in the education and training of public officials. The Peruvian government requested LOGODI to design the second program of its kind, and this year is the first round of the second 3-year program.

Upon the request of SERVIR, LOGODI prepared lectures and action plan consulting sessions in a range of subjects touching on e-Government Innovation, Decentralization, HRM System, Good Governance, and Korea’s Experience in the Fight with COVID-19. These issues came in connection to its national development strategy as well as future preparation for the post coronavirus pandemic.

"There is no doubt that the current circumstances bring us a lot of uncertainties and new challenges," said Dr. Lee In-jae, President of LOGODI. Delivering his blessings for substantive improvement in Peru, also, he ensured that LOGODI continues its support of Peruvian officials, staying in close contact with its alumni in the country and SERVIR.

Rector Juan Oswaldo Alfaro Bernedo, the National University Villareal Rectorate, expressed his appreciation on behalf of his colleagues for all that the LOGODI team has done for the online training program. He also said that even though we were not able to meet face-to-face, this program has created an even bigger feeling of community-building.
