Governance Policies and Interdepartmental Coordination

This course focuses on the governance policies that guide public sector organizations, with an emphasis on how various ministerial departments are interconnected and work collaboratively to ensure effective governance. In a complex governmental landscape, policies must align across departments to foster coordinated decision-making, efficient service delivery, and accountability to the public. Learners will explore how governance policies are crafted at the national, regional, and local levels, and how these policies shape the operation of ministries, public agencies, and other government entities. The course also examines the challenges that arise in managing interdepartmental relationships and aligning policies across ministries to achieve overarching governance objectives. Case studies and practical insights will provide learners with a deep understanding of the mechanisms that enable smooth collaboration between government departments and the strategic role of cross-departmental policy integration in effective governance.
