About the Programme
This programme examines how governments can improve coordination between national, regional and local institutions to deliver policies and services more effectively. Participants gain practical insights into collaborative governance, implementation mechanisms and cross-jurisdictional decision-making. Participants explore frameworks for managing relationships between different tiers of government, coordinating policy priorities and overcoming institutional fragmentation. The programme addresses implementation challenges, delivery systems, stakeholder engagement and mechanisms for aligning resources with strategic objectives.
