This is part of the effort to deepen this culture and contribute to achieving transparency, governance, and integrity across all stages of the award. The training aims to create a qualified group of evaluators within Fayoum University, ensuring the availability of cadres capable of applying institutional evaluation methodologies in accordance with the standards of the Government Excellence System.
