School of Governance and Public Administration
Preparing Next Generation Public Leaders
The School of Governance and Public Administration (SGPA) was established in 2021 with the overall aim to prepare Burma’s next generation public leaders—current and future public administrators—for serving their people, communities and territories in the future federal democratic union of Burma. To this end, the school provides high-quality capacity-building programs in leadership, governance and public administration and this way, hopes to contribute to inclusive development and progress towards a more peaceful and just society. Ultimately, the SGPA intends to address both the short-term needs of interim governance structures as well as long-term needs of the future federal democratic union for diverse and professional public administrators with the ability to effectively lead and manage units of government at all levels.
Diploma in Public Administration is a diploma program preparing and inspiring mid-career professionals from diverse backgrounds to serve in public offices of the future federal democratic union. In the 2024 academic year, the program will offer eight courses in governance, federalism, public administration and public policy, whose specific learning objectives have been designed to support the overall learning outcomes of the program.
