The National School of Administration and Judiciary (ENAM), created on December 4, 1959, is a higher education institution for training administrative personnel in Burkina Faso, headquartered in Ouagadougou.

History

Creation and Context

Formerly called the National School of Administration (ENA), the current National School of Administration and Judiciary (ENAM) was established by presidential decree on December 4, 1959, at the dawn of the independence of Upper Volta, which became Burkina Faso in August 1984. The opening of this training school for administrative agents marked the political will of the country's authorities to establish a specialized school to support the efforts of setting up the new national administration. From January 1960, the ENA began to operate and received its first trainees for six months of training to replace colonial personnel. At that time, the school focused on urgent needs with personnel from fields such as general administration, rural economy and cooperation, justice, and police, financial legislation, and accounting.

Evolution

From October 1966, its general mission became the training and improvement of various personnel at all levels and applied research for development. It also acquired the status of a public administrative institution (EPA) with legal personality and financial autonomy.

Since 1968, the school has occupied its current premises in Ouagadougou next to the Joseph Ki-Zerbo University. Depending on institutional changes, administrative supervision has been exercised by the presidency, the Prime Minister, and finally the Ministry of Public Service. These successive changes in the supervisory institution aimed to allow close monitoring of its activities.

Name Change

In 1984, the school opened a section for auditors of justice and adopted its current name, the National School of Administration and Judiciary (ENAM). ENAM is under the technical supervision of the Ministry of Public Service and the financial supervision of the Ministry of Finance.

Since its creation in 1959, the National School of Administration and Judiciary (ENAM) has always positioned itself as a leading institution in the professional training of state personnel. Indeed, the various reforms the institution has undergone have always advocated for the consolidation of its primary role in training state agents and later local government personnel, as well as the diversification of its missions. ENAM's institutional evolution has been marked by the modernization efforts initiated in the 2000s (2011-2020 Strategic Decade Plan for the Modernization of Administration), materialized in 2011 with the adoption of the first strategic plan of TENAM (2011-2016). Following this first plan, a second was adopted in 2017 (2017-2021). These two strategic plans significantly changed ENAM's trajectory, expanding its actions in the field of vocational training.

Main Missions

Currently, ENAM's missions are threefold:

• The initial and continuing vocational training of state agents, local governments, public and semi-public institutions;
• Conducting applied research in public administration;
• Providing advisory assistance to state administrations, local governments, public and semi-public institutions.

These contemporary missions of ENAM stem from the strategic planning of 2011-2016 and 2017-2021. These two important moments in the structure's development have seen varied results with many achievements but also many shortcomings. However, ENAM has long been the flagship of professional education in Burkina Faso.

The École nationale d'administration et de magistrature (ENAM), founded on December 4, 1959 (1959-12-04), is a higher education institution for training administrative personnel in Burkina Faso with its headquarters in Ouagadougou.

History

Creation and Context

Originally known as the École Nationale d’Administration (ENA), the current École Nationale d’Administration et de Magistrature (ENAM) was established by presidential decree on December 4, 1959, at the dawn of Upper Volta's independence, which later became Burkina Faso in August 1984. The school commenced operations in January 1960, admitting its first trainees for a six-month training program aimed at replacing colonial personnel. Initially, it offered courses in general administration, rural economy and cooperation, justice and police, financial legislation, and accounting.

Evolution

From October 1966, its mission expanded to include the training and development of various personnel at all levels and applied research for development. The school was granted the status of a Public Administrative Establishment (EPA) with legal personality and financial autonomy.

In 1968, the school moved to its current location in Ouagadougou, adjacent to the Joseph Ki-Zerbo University. Administrative oversight has shifted over time, from the Presidency to the Prime Minister's Office, and finally to the Ministry of Public Service. These changes were aimed at ensuring closer monitoring of its activities.

Name Change

In 1984, the school opened a section for judicial auditors and adopted its current name, École Nationale d’Administration et de Magistrature (ENAM). ENAM is under the technical supervision of the Ministry of Public Service and the financial supervision of the Ministry of Finance.

Since its inception, ENAM has consistently positioned itself as a leading institution in professional training for state personnel. Various reforms have strengthened its primary role in training state agents and later local government personnel, as well as diversifying its missions. The strategic modernization plan (2011-2020) initiated by the Burkinabe authorities marked significant progress, leading to the adoption of the first strategic plan (2011-2016), followed by a second one (2017-2021), which expanded ENAM's professional training scope.

Main Missions

Today, ENAM’s missions include:

Initial and continuing professional training for state agents, local governments, and public and semi-public institutions; Conducting applied research in public administration; Providing advisory services to state administrations, local governments, and public and semi-public institutions. These contemporary missions stem from strategic planning in 2011-2016 and 2017-2021, which significantly changed ENAM’s trajectory by expanding its professional training scope.
