Washington to help reform Dominican Foreign Service

Santo Domingo.- United States Embassy Commercial attaché Christopher Lambert, announced Friday that hat Washington will support the Public Administration Ministry’s  (MAP) work to reform Dominican Civil Service.

Lambert spoke of his experience in the U.S. Foreign Service during the “Diplomatic and Consular Administrative Career” seminar, organized by the MAP and the Foreign Relations Ministry (MIREX).

He stressed the importance of professionalizing the government jobs and that Foreign Service requires highly capable and trained personnel, whom undergo a highly competitive process, adding that only 0.03% of the candidates manage to be named in a post.

Going to need a lot of platanos to get a decent number of prime candidates!

But this is a VERY LONG overdue process implementation. How many more cycles of idiocy and poor qualified candidates need serve our DR? ABC, if the Europeans want to help out, all the better. We need decent candidates to represent us in all the major capitals of Europe and so having candidates trained in Europe would be an excellent option. These openings will stimulate many more Dominicans to see good value in higher education and pursuing careers along this diplomatic path.


Good News. DR never had a CIVIL SERVICE in place .It is about time to create one, even thought wouild be not to the politians advantage,since all public posissions are appointed regardless qualifications.
The biggest employer in that nation is the gvt,and it goes according to the party in place and in
power.Therefore a career in any field would be impossible except for the MILITARY ,and even then, you get stuck with lemons as administrators and leaders as far as education goes.
Who ever heard of 20 GENERALS in a public and civil job such as those in the police department?
As mentioned before those possitions should be transfered to the public with public and cicilian title . General is a big word and should be kept in the military only ,with the reduction in force a reduction in generals should follow such as one star GENERAL to a GRIGADE which cosist of 5000 men.

Houghton Students Study MAP Programs in Ecuador | The Voices of MAP

“It is hard to summarize my first intercultural experience in a short blog post. Yes, at 22 years old I had my first truly intercultural experience. I mean I’ve had experiences interacting with other cultures but this is my first experience being immersed in an entirely different culture.

I will spend the next two weeks traveling throughout Ecuador with MAP International and my class, led by Dr. Ndunge Kiiti, on Health Development from Houghton College. Dr. Kiiti has setup this experience to give students exposure to a wide variety of health development situations and solutions. We will see firsthand the work of MAP International, specifically their work in indigenous communities and schools. MAP is focusing on health from a holistic standpoint, aiming to encourage people to achieve healthy growth in all aspects of their lives.

Today my classmates and I visited the MAP Ecuador office in Quito for the first time. We met MAP Ecuador staff and learned the role that MAP plays in the development of the communities they work in. One of the key things we heard during our time at MAP today was facilitation. MAP is focusing on facilitating change in the communities they are working in. They do not wish to go into the communities and overwhelm the communities with their ideas and ways of doing things.

Instead, MAP is focusing on facilitating change by engaging with the community and helping them finding them develop and implement their own solutions. The solutions and resources for change come from the communities themselves, not from MAP.

After that brief introduction of MAP International, we headed out towards Santo Domingo in order to visit communities that are working with MAP. We arrived at Santo Domingo around 7:00pm tonight. Tomorrow we will head off towards the indigenous communities surrounding Santo Domingo. I look forward to seeing what the community is doing and what God is doing in them.”

“I’m not sure if I am out of breath because of the incredible experience we are having, or because of the altitude. Today we’ve learned all about the programs MAP facilitates in Ecuador, met amazing MAP staff, and driven through the Andes to Santo Domingo, where we are currently staying. That might not sound like a fully loaded day, but it definitely has been! Our morning session at the MAP office taught us much about humility, the workings of an extremely impressive development agency, and the struggles of many Ecuadorians. In the session, we sang (first in Spanish, then in jumbled English) “Lord You have come to the lakeshore”. One of the most striking lines in the song described how God knows what we have as possessions…from our gold to our labor. Most of us did not pack much for our trip, in fact, I’m quite sure no one packed gold. But in our hearts we have had to pack humility, flexibility, and so much faith.
