The Ministry for
the Development of the Russian Far East and Arctic and the Far East and Arctic
Development Corporation are working together to implement the Muravyov-Amursky
2030 Management Programme, providing training for civil servants and
development institutions in the Russian Far East.
The programme was launched
by Minister for the Development of the Russian Far East and Arctic Alexey
Chekunkov at the 6th Eastern Economic Forum in 2021, with programme trainees
participating in the Forum in 2022 and 2023.
In 2024, Russian
President Vladimir Putin decided to extend the programme to include Russia’s
Arctic zone. The programme prepares civil servants to occupy managerial
positions in the Far East and Arctic.
“The Arctic and
Far East are creating new opportunities for our country, but their sustainable
development would be impossible without qualified personnel and programmes
aimed at protecting people because human capital is key to successfully
developing these territories and unlocking their full potential. This lends the
2025 launch of the ‘Personnel’ national project, which looks to provide the
Russian economy, its different regions and business, with qualified employees,
particular significance,” Adviser to the President
of the Russian Federation and Executive Secretary of the ‘Arctic: Territory of
Dialogue’ International Arctic Forum Organizing Committee Anton Kobyakov
said.
One of the key
tracks of the ‘Arctic: Territory of Dialogue’ International Arctic Forum, slated
for 26–27 March 2025 in Murmansk, is focused on the education of a new
generation of specialists. The slogan for the 2025 Forum is ‘To live in the North ’. If the region’s unique potential is to be fully realized,
qualified personnel must be trained to adapt to northern conditions, juggle
multiple challenges, shape the future of Russia’s Arctic, contribute to its
development, and integrate into the national economy.
“The programme
attracts passionate people to a difficult cause. They are not being called to
go on a pleasure cruise or to stuff their pockets – they are being given a
chance to serve their country by solving complex problems for the benefit of the
people around them. Competition for the programme is fierce, and many give up established
careers to travel to the Far East and take part, proving that such people do
exist in Russia and that the development of the Far East and Arctic is
important to Russians,” Minister for the
Development of the Russian Far East and Arctic Alexey Chekunkov said.
The new
installment is a one-year programme consisting of 9 modules in the Far East,
Arctic, and Moscow, with an international module in the People’s Republic of
China. The training programme fully immerses participants in the functioning of
the government structures and regions and seeks to provide a basic knowledge of
public administration, history, Asian studies, and practical tools for solving
government problems. Mentors play a special role in the programme. Participants
receive support from the Deputy Plenipotentiary Envoy of the President of the
Russian Federation for the Far Eastern Federal District, officials from the
Ministry for the Development of the Russian Far East, the Far East and Arctic
Development Corporation, the Eastern State Planning Centre, the region’s top
officials, and the rectors of leading universities.
“This year, the Russian
President supported the extension of our programme to include the Arctic and spoke
of how the programme was bringing young leaders to the Far East and raising the
potential of local personnel. Participants in the new installment will have the
opportunity to show if they have what it takes as they work to resolve the
issues facing all 19 regions of the Far East and Arctic,” Muravyov-Amursky 2030 Programme Project Office Manager
Ksenia Kishkareva said.
The first two installments
of the programme successfully trained 96 participants, who now occupy positions
of responsibility in the Far East and include regional ministers and deputy
ministers, deputy heads of municipalities, and heads of development institutions.
Many have brought their families here from other parts of the country. 52 people
are currently studying in the third installment of the programme.
Participation in
the Muravyov-Amursky 2030 Programme is free with a commitment to take up a position
in the civil service in the Russian Far East and Arctic.
Programme
graduates receive a professional diploma from the Skolkovo School of Management
and partner universities and are added to the registry of civil servants.
Participants enrolled in the programme join regional project teams implementing
significant projects under the supervision of local governors.
