Improving Governance in the Public Sector

The overall objective of the course is to equip the participants with a thorough understanding of current trends on leadership in the public sector, the interface between good governance, development and the performance of organizations as well as the need for robust financial management systems that link planning, budgeting and results. In light of this, participants will be able to provide leadership in governance processes and financial management within their organizations.

The immediate objective of the course is to strengthen the capacity of senior and middle level officials from the public and private sector to take up leadership roles in a more effective and proactive manner, and to achieve better results in delivery of public services through improved governance structures and financial management systems and processes. It is expected that upon return to their organizations, participants will strengthen the leadership, governance and financial management practices, systems and processes and in the medium term enhance the performance of their organizations.

This course is aimed at Senior and Middle Level Managers from the public sector and civil society organizations. The course is also beneficial for those working in bilateral and multilateral organizations, diplomatic missions and those managing development projects financed by development partners.

Global economics proves to us on a daily basis the organisational need for ‘fore-most’ and ‘leading’ talent in order to succeed in increasingly complex and competitive global markets. In order to achieve the ‘best’ possible result for organizations, developing the right talent is as much a necessity as hiring and retaining employees.
