Abstract:
The article shows the experience of the Republic of Azerbaijan in the formation of human resources in order to manage sustainable inclusive development. To assess the effectiveness of civil service personnel training, it is proposed to use the analysis of results of their activities. In this paper, indicators of achievements in the field of sustainable inclusive development are used as indicators of the effectiveness of civil servants and their training system. Each state striving to achieve the goals of sustainable inclusive development solves various problems, and the differences are due to the specifics of the country. Examples of such tasks are given for the poorest countries, whose population is daily exposed to poverty and hunger, and for relatively prosperous countries in which humanitarian problems are not so acute and relevant is the task of improving the level of education and health. Obviously, not all of the hundreds of indicators envisaged by the 17 goals of sustainable development are universal in nature and can be used in all countries of the world. Indicators that are equally important for all countries and at the same time meet the global sustainable development goals can serve as a comparative assessment of the performance of civil servants. It is proposed to consider the achievement of significant achievements in economic, social and humanitarian development in a relatively short period of time from a historical point of view as a result of effective activities in the field of training of human resources. Despite the importance of economic potential as a key factor and a necessary condition for sustainable inclusive development, it provides such development only when the country’s leadership is simultaneously pursuing a comprehensively thought out social policy.
