Fundamentals of Public Administration

Program Overview

Rapid changes across sectors, both locally and globally, have heightened demands on government. Yet, the public sector often struggles to keep pace, responding reactively rather than adapting proactively to shifting economic, social, and cultural landscapes. Bureaucratic inefficiencies, conflicting policies, and fragmented governance structures further hinder its ability to meet public needs effectively. 

The Fundamentals of Public Administration program explores the pressing Grand Challenges in public administration, focusing on behavioral public administration, democracy, and public sector management. Participants will be encouraged to think boldly, develop innovative solutions, and drive meaningful reforms that create lasting impact at individual, organizational, and societal levels. They will also gain critical skills in leadership, problem-solving, and evidence-based decision-making to manage complex and evolving governance landscapes.
