The course has been designed to introduce a variety of fundamental perspectives on public policy analysis and formulation to achieve the United Nations (2015) Agenda 2030 for Sustainable Development and its 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The course aims to discuss and explore the various approaches and different ways (in different countries) that can contribute to policy analysis, formulation, implementation, monitoring and evaluation.

This course will critically address the question of how countries can achieve the 17 SDGs of the 2030 Agenda and to provoke forward thinking on developing new methods and approaches to suit the challenges and opportunities of this new era of digital revolution particularly post Covid-19 global pandemic. These new approaches call for actions to create different appropriate ways of doing things and of doing new things that will be essential to solve our future problems and help in the implementation of the 17 SDGs of the 2030 Agenda. Systematic search for opportunities is important for helping to ameliorate the many problems facing countries. We must therefore produce, consume and organise ourselves differently.

This integrative course aims to develop a deeper understanding of the theoretical and practical aspects to public policy and executive leadership, and to develop the essential skills and competencies necessary to plan, monitor and formulate public policy. Executive leadership in 21st Century at all levels is becoming increasingly dynamic and complex. The course aims to discuss and explore the various approaches and different ways that can contribute to policy analysis, formulation, implementation, monitoring and evaluation. It will also provoke forward thinking on developing new methods and approaches to suit the challenges and opportunities of this new era of digital revolution. The course will therefore help participants to understand how the policy process works and develop the skills required to provide practical policy advice to relevant stakeholders.
