Public Policy Course 2012
Deadline: 27 April 2012
Organised by the Institute of Peace, Leadership and Governance (IPLG) at the Africa University and OSISA, this renowned course in public policy, governance and civil society is designed to provide basic fundamentals of public policy analysis to practitioners working in civil society organisations, public service and the private sector. To face the challenges of the new millennium, Africa needs leaders who can inspire those they lead; work and learn collaboratively; transform mindsets; act with integrity; facilitate constructive dialogue, think strategically; and formulate and implement public policy with skill and resolve. Recognising that public policy is best formed and implemented by informed leaders, the course seeks to enhance these leadership skills. The emphasis of the course is on how public policy maybe viewed as a governance tool essential for political and institutional development. This course is partly subsidised and with travel scholarships in some cases. Find out more
