Transform public sector management through this comprehensive program in integrated planning, budgeting, procurement, reporting, and audit compliance that creates cohesive management systems driving effective service delivery and accountability. Participants will develop expertise in designing and implementing integrated frameworks that connect strategic planning with resource allocation, procurement execution, performance reporting, and compliance verification in seamless workflows. The curriculum emphasizes practical approaches to breaking down silos between public management functions, creating information flows that support timely decision-making, and establishing accountability mechanisms across the entire management cycle. Through case studies of integrated public management reforms and hands-on framework design exercises, attendees will learn to create management systems that deliver coherent government action and transparent accountability. This program prepares public sector reformers to lead integrated management transformations.
