Training on Strategic Management, Monitoring and Planning for Government and Public Sector
Course Overview
Effective governance requires more than policy formulation—it demands structured strategic planning, measurable performance monitoring, and disciplined implementation. Public sector institutions must align national priorities, sector strategies, budgets, and service delivery systems to achieve sustainable development outcomes.
This 5-day course equips government officials and public sector leaders with practical tools for strategic management, monitoring, and results-based planning. Participants will learn how to develop strategic plans aligned with policy frameworks, establish performance indicators, implement monitoring and evaluation (M&E) systems, and translate strategy into measurable outcomes.
The program covers strategic analysis, policy alignment, logical frameworks, performance measurement systems, public financial linkages, risk management, and accountability mechanisms. Through case-based learning and applied exercises drawn from local and global governance experiences, participants will strengthen their ability to design implementable strategies and monitor institutional performance effectively.
By the end of the training, participants will be able to develop integrated strategic plans, establish robust monitoring systems, improve accountability, and enhance service delivery across public sector institutions.
