COIL Open World Program: Fiji Parliamentary Staffers
Fiji
From October 30–November 6, we are pleased to welcome a delegation of parliamentary staffers from Fiji in partnership with COIL. During their visit, the fellows will learn firsthand about U.S. legislative processes, including drafting and evaluating legislation, budget oversight, and constituent engagement. They will also explore approaches to strengthening the skills and capacity of civil servants through training, mentorship, and professional connections.
Dr. George Swan III
Chair, Detroit Future City
The opportunity to welcome and work with international delegations visiting Detroit provides a very rich experience. To be engaged in this work is significant and very rewarding. The world is becoming smaller every day and Global Ties Detroit contributes greatly in building strong bridges with people and nations across the globe.
