Learning Objectives
The past decade
has seen unprecedented changes as countries worldwide have adapted to new
institutional demands created by liberalization of government policies and
incorporation of the private sector into public enterprises. With these
important changes, however, come new challenges, problems, and opportunities in
the way governments implement their programs and projects, causing government
leaders at all levels to rethink strategic plans for future economic,
municipal, social, and educational services.
In this course Public Sector Management and Governance,
participants will examine the necessary conceptual issues, as well as specific
tools, techniques, and strategies to address the new issues they will face in
creating or modifying a government-reinventing program. Participants will be
exposed to proven efficient approaches that improve the performance and
delivery of government services at lower costs, create higher levels of
employee moral and citizen satisfaction, end bureaucratic inefficiencies, and
improve fiscal responsibility and accountability at all government levels.
Through presentations, case studies,
role-playing, simulated exercises, and on-site meetings with Public Sector
Management and Governance experts and practitioners, participants will learn to
develop their own Public Sector Management Action Plan for programs at the
national (ministerial), governorate, and municipal levels.

Action Planning
