Résumé :

Since 2001 the Belgian federal public sector has organised an educational programme in public management to encounter the growing need for public management expertise. At that same moment a huge reform project within the administration took place, and automatically both projects were connected. This specific administrative context generated at first a partnership between two actors, and evolved later on towards a partnership between multiple actors. It is the purpose of this paper to provide insight into the development of the educational programme within its specific context and to analyze the way the partnership developed in order to ensure the continuation of the programme and the achievement of the educational goals.This article is written by two major actors, i.e. the two universities which organize the programme and their commissioner, the Training Institute of the Federal Administration, an organisation within the Belgian federal public sector. It is based on the experiences of the three institutes, formal and informal documents, and 22 qualitative in-depth interviews taken within the federal administration between April 2007 and January 2008.
