Course Overview:

Public Governance includes all underlying principles, laws and rules that help a public sector organisation function. Bad governance could lead to exponential negative impact to the public because its scope influences the entire population. Good governance, on the other hand, has a positive impact and is extremely important to citizens and the civic society, the latter two having major roles to play in the quality of public governance.

There are many other factors, besides citizens and the civic society, that influence public governance, and it is thus important to look at all of these to ensure the proper functioning of an organisation in the public sector. Among these, national institutions that can make fair and appropriate governance-related decisions are prominent.

Local governments too play a significant role in the delivery of high-quality services to the society. Thus, measuring local government performance and increasing accountability of local government bureaucracies and politicians are major contributors to good governance. Public governance and the success of it has recently started revolving around three main factors – efficiency, quality and transparency.

Government decisions and allocation of resources and spending directly affect public services. Many challenges could impact the quality of service delivery, including corruption, lack of public awareness, political pressure and/or control, lack of decentralisation, resistance to change, etc.

With the increasing demand of the public for high quality and efficiency services, Open Government Partnership as a concept is gaining increasing focus and attention, which is ultimately resulting in increased transparency, accountability and responsiveness to the public, among many other benefits. This new form of governance empowers citizens to take action to achieve the desired social outcome.

It is a proven fact that governments formed of the people function better to fulfil the needs of the public. This, in turn, gives rise to the demand for easier access of citizens to all necessary information and data to help them be part of the governance and contribute to its success. Thus, for a public sector professional, it is extremely important to identify the correct opportunities for improving the quality of governance and ultimately the quality of service to the public.

This ZOE’s Governance and Leadership in Public Sector Management Course will empower you with immense experience and knowledge to make reforms to public service delivery and efficiently manage any initiative undertaken to improve governance in the public sector. It will not just help you manage such initiatives well, but will also enrich your understanding and capability to identify possible gaps in governance in the public sector and take necessary steps in time to resolve these.

The detailed study of open government partnership as the most significant resolution to all issues faced during public governance will lead to rippling benefits to society. This training program will cover open government partnership in detail, and many other factors that are necessary to identify, thus enabling you to address most, if not all, problems related to governance in the public sector.
