Local governments are community-focused public sector organisations with a diverse workforce and one overriding purpose: appropriate, effective and efficient delivery of local public services. Simultaneously, these organisations function in a political environment that needs to take account of the concerns of citizens.
This five-day professional development course explores contemporary trends of public sector administration and is designed to strengthen the knowledge and managerial practice of local government professionals. The program blends theory and principles with case studies, discussion forums and workshop sessions.
