Effective public servants understand the machinery of government they work within, not just the tasks on their desk. This course introduces the core principles of public administration: the structure and functions of government at national and county level, the relationship between policy and implementation, and the theory of bureaucracy that explains why public institutions operate the way they do.

Participants also examine ethics and accountability in public service, intergovernmental relations, and the practical realities of implementing policy through layers of approval and oversight. The course is designed as a foundational grounding for staff who need to understand the wider system, not just their individual role within it.

Throughout the programme, participants work through realistic scenarios drawn from public sector institutions, private enterprises, development organizations, and regulated professional environments, examining how public administration fundamentals is applied in practice and where it most often breaks down. Delegates will develop practical skill in designing appropriate frameworks, selecting and applying the right tools for from public policy to implementation, interpreting findings, and communicating conclusions clearly to colleagues, management and external stakeholders. Sessions move deliberately from principles to application, so that each technique introduced is practised against a realistic problem before the programme moves on — strengthening both individual effectiveness and the wider capability of the organizations delegates return to.

By the end of this course, participants will be able to:

• Develop robust public administration fundamentals frameworks that support successful implementation and measurable outcomes.
• Analyze performance using recognized evaluation methods drawn from from public policy to implementation.
• Design practical systems that strengthen accountability, transparency and evidence generation.
