Classroom cohorts in Nairobi, Mombasa, Kisumu, Naivasha · live online · in-house anywhere in Kenya
Moving into a supervisory or management post in government brings responsibilities that technical expertise alone does not prepare you for. The week starts with how public institutions are structured, the legal and policy frameworks they operate under and the values expected of public servants. Planning sessions link national and institutional strategic plans to annual work plans, targets and organisational structures. Financial and resource management covers budgeting basics, expenditure control, procurement principles and the management of people, assets and time.
Service delivery topics include service charters, citizen feedback, process improvement and performance contracting, so that you can measure and raise the quality of what your unit provides. Accountability, effective communication and teamwork complete the picture, including report writing, chairing meetings and handling public complaints fairly.

It is aimed at newly appointed officers, supervisors, technical specialists stepping into management and staff preparing for promotion. You return able to plan your unit's work, manage its resources responsibly and report results with confidence.
