Alfredo FERRANTE

Trainee, SSPA - National School of Public Administration - Scuola Superiore della Pubblica Amministrazione (colleague)
worked with Dario

“I met Dario in 1999 when we were both admitted to the Italian National School of Public Administration. We have worked together in several occasion since then, and I did much appreciate his management, human resources, IT and foreign languages skills. He has a real eye for detail and leaves no stones unturned in his attempts to get to the heart of issues. Imaginative and talented, with an amazingly wide spectrum of competences and interests, Dario contradicts the common "Yes-man" stereotype of the civil servant, being an inspired executive that continually challenges conventional thought and previously accepted solutions to drive the evolution of Public Administration forward. Luckily, his serious side is balanced by a healthy irony and sense of humour, and an ability to make people at ease, what makes a real pleasure to work with him.” March 1, 2009

Edgar Schiopu

counsellor, Ministry of Justice (colleague)
worked directly with Dario

“Dario is a professional with sound background in management. He has immense potential, and the ability to combine theory and practice to reach outstanding results. He has a vast culture and he is able of deep insights in different cultures. And he has a great sense of humor. Strongly recommend him.” July 2, 2008

   

Denis Mondon
Avocat General à la Cour d'Appel de Nimes

 

Je tenais à porter à votre connaissance l’excellente impression que j’ai eu de ce responsable. Capacité d’écoute, aptitude à la compréhension d’un contexte congolais très spécifique, créativité et adaptabilité à la diversité de niveaux de nos interlocuteurs, magistrats ou fonctionnaires, m’ont particulièrement frappé. J’y ajouterai un sens du service public et une volonté de positiver les situations malgré les difficultés observées tout à fait dignes d’éloge. Je signalerai enfin sa excellente maitrise du français, sa parfaite bonne éducation et sa grande courtoisie.

Il me semblait de mon devoir de vous en aviser, tant le travail de M. QUINTAVALLE a contribué au rayonnement de la culture judiciaire italienne et à une belle image de votre juridiction.

  2. Training Court Staff on Management and Professional Skills

  3. Establishing Ongoing Programmes of Professional Development

  4. Training State Enforcement Officers to Improve Enforcement

I also worked to develop comprehensive compendia on uniform standards and EU best practices, with practical guidelines for improving court management practices and procedures, focused on Heads of Court and Court Administrators.

Peer Assessment missions

 

 

 

 

 

 

@ Albania [2013-2015]

 

Assessment Missions are a peer-based exercise. The purpose is to identify needs, provide a gap analysis or elaborate a strategy in a given sector. This approach has proved a useful mechanism to address different needs for beneficiary countries. In this context, assessment missions are aimed at evaluating legislation and administrative capacity in a range of sectors and at developing in close cooperation with local counterparts a structured plan for future technical assistance. I took part in two peers in Albania, designed to assess the eligibility of the country for Member State Candidate Status.

1st ESCS "European Senior Civil Servant" course (2008)

In 2008. I had the opportunity to represent MoJ in the first pilot training course of the European Senior Civil Servant project, which is an initiative implemented within the framework of the Agreement between the Dipartimento della Funzione Pubblica (Italian Department of Public Administration) and the Scuola Superiore della Pubblica Amministrazione - SSPA (Italian Civil Service College), entitled “The promotion of coordinated initiatives to implement the Lisbon 2000 objectives for training senior civil servants from the Italian State and other European Union countries”.

It follows the experience of the Patent (Public Administration Training European Network for the Harmonization of Training Approach) Project funded by the Leonardo Da Vinci programme of the European Commission.

The aim of the project is to develop shared knowledge, key skills and competences among middle rank civil servants of National Public Administrations in order to increase and improve collaboration and civil servants mobility within the European Union countries.

Training included an e-learning part from Feb. 1st to 29th 2008, followed by an intensive 5-days course in Caserta  Italy in the period from March 3rd to 7th 2008 (24 hours e-learning followed by 27 hours in-class).
Germany, Greece, France, Bosnia Herzegovina, Macedonia, Albania, Uk, Poland, and several departments of the Italian Governemnt sent their participants, for a total of 27.

The training was organized by a consortium of European Civil Service Schools, on the basis of the “scientific curriculum of the European Senior Civil servant”, developed by a Scientific Committee of Experts.

@ Geneva Centre for Security Policy (CH):
19th International Training Course in Security Policy (2004-2005)

In 2004 I was invited by the Swiss Government to take part to the Nineteenth International Training Course in Security Policy (ITC19), held at the Geneva Centre for Security Policy (GCSP), representing the Ministry of Justice of Italy. The course took place from the 4th October 2004 to 27th May 2005. There were 30 participants from 25 countries. The primary activity of the GCSP is to provide expert training in comprehensive international security policy for midcareer diplomats, military officers and civil servants.

  The ITC is an intensive 8 month course about the most important aspects of current international security policy. The course offered a broad overview of international security issues, with a special focus on the contemporary global security environment, including security concepts, the main actors (states and institutions) as well as emerging problems (e.g., proliferation of weapons of mass destruction, globalisation and international terrorism). The ITC is run by an international faculty composed of highly qualified academics and practitioners with broad experience in diplomacy and/or military affairs. Some 150 high-ranking diplomats, military officers, government officials and distinguished experts from across the Euro-Atlantic community and beyond, addressed the participants as Guest speakers all over the Academic Year. A particular focus of ITC 19 was to familiarise participants with modern working methods, negotiating tactics, leadership training, security policy decision-making, as well as drafting and briefing skills. Special courses and simulation exercises were conducted throughout the year to that end.

In the framework of the course, I did a presentation introducing Italian Security Policy, I prepared the week about Human Rights and International Humanitarian Law, and I was an advocate for Globalization in the week about world economics. I successfully finished my studies writing a Core Paper about the topic: “Is there a West?

At the end of the course I was evaluated as "well suited for international assignments, either rapresenting Italy in a diplomatic role or within an international organisation"
