Public-Sector Leadership Programme

Public service that citizens can feel.

Overview

Public service that citizens can feel.

Public institutions carry the hopes of citizens and the weight of scarce resources. This programme equips public-sector leaders to turn policy into delivery, build accountable institutions and keep the citizen at the centre. It draws on public-sector cases from across Africa and is delivered in a confidential, peer-to-peer setting.
