Civil servants with MBAs will develop public-private partnership more effectively

It was reported by the Head of the SAEE Serhiy Savchuk at the closing ceremony of MBA Program for the middle and top level managers of the State Agency on Energy Efficiency and Energy Saving of Ukraine (SAEE).

"We need to create favourable conditions for Ukrainian businesses in the spheres of energy efficiency and renewable energy, - said Serhiy Savchuk. - I am sure that employees who have passed the MBA course can implement mechanisms for cooperation between the state and business in renewable energy more effectively".

In turn, the People's Deputy of Ukraine Oleksandr Dombrovskyi noted that the Agency's officials were working very actively and dynamically to improve energy efficiency in the country. He stressed that Ukraine would be energy independent only when energy efficiency became a priority. "If we keep consuming 3-4 times more energy per unit of GDP than on average in the world, we won't withstand any competition", - said O. Dombrovskyi.

The MBA Program aimed at training and enhancing management skills of 22 mid- and top-level officials of the SAEE. The program was provided by the International Management Institute. It also included a special course on energy efficiency and renewable energy.

Now, understanding business needs, graduates will facilitate public-private partnership and use modern management techniques in the spheres of energy efficiency and renewable energy.
