The École Nationale d'Administration (ENA) is one of the most prestigious graduate schools in France, established in 1945 by Michel Debré to identify and train senior executives in the country and enable its graduates to reach high levels in both public & private sectors. ENA was abolished on December 31, 2021, and replaced by the Institut National du Service Public (INSP) on January 1, 2022, focusing on public service values, social diversity, and adaptability to contemporary challenges.
The declaration signed on October 24th, 2017, between the Egyptian Foreign Minister, Sameh Shoukry and his French counterpart, Jean-Yves Le Drian, is a part of an initiative to strengthen cultural, educational, higher educational, scientific and technical cooperation between Egypt & France. Both the National Training Academy and ENA decided to launch ENA Egypt program, which aims to train and enable all Egyptian civil servants to accommodate and adapt to changing managerial & administrative needs.
