SETYM International Proudly Announces Strategic Partnership with EM Gabon–University

SETYM International, a Canadian leader in capacity building in the context of international development, is proud to announce a strategic partnership with EM Gabon–University. Signed on 16 April in Libreville, this partnership aims to deliver advanced training programmes for senior civil servants directly on Gabonese soil.

Larbi Bennouna, CEO of SETYM International, and Professor Daniel Franck Idiata, Director of EM Gabon–University, formalised the beginning of this collaboration with a signing ceremony. The partnership establishes a training framework designed to strengthen administrative and managerial competencies within Gabon’s public sector. This tailored initiative reflects SETYM’s mission to deliver practical, needs-based training for public administrations.

Strengthening Capacities

“By training Gabonese civil servants in Libreville, we are directly contributing to the development of critical skills required for the country’s economic and social growth,” emphasised Mr Bennouna during the signing ceremony.

This initiative represents a major milestone in SETYM International’s ongoing commitment to providing high-quality training tailored to the specific needs of Gabon’s civil service. The partnership not only supports local capacity building but also promotes sustainable development through accessible, practice-oriented education.

Professor Idiata expressed his enthusiasm for the project:

“It is a great honour to collaborate with SETYM, a globally recognised organisation. We are confident that this partnership will meet our government’s expectations and greatly benefit our executives by sparing them the cost and constraints of training abroad.”

This partnership is founded on a shared vision of continuous improvement in administrative capacities in Gabon and will contribute to enhancing the performance of the country’s public administration.
