This is very important because carrying out a project requires a methodology. The right methodology is that dictated by the international standard ISO 21500 on project management. This training is very beneficial for the executives and agents of the DGDA, insofar as it will help them to properly orient the implementation of the projects they manage. The executives who participate are those of the Reform and Planning Directorate who are responsible for proposing customs reforms. These are people who take part in the call for tenders to recruit consultants and carry out the various reforms initiated by the DGDA, ”said the founder of the Zylloo Consult firm. For Mr. Jamel Nagati, international trainer on the ISO 37001 standard, this system is essential in the fight against corruption. It will allow the staff of the DGDA to strengthen the credibility of their company through the strategy of prevention, detection and denunciation of any act of corruption, before adding that the ISO 37001 standard is a standard on anti-corruption management.
