The Aig-Imoukhuede Foundation has announced the opening of applicatio­ns for the AIG Public Leaders Programme (APLP) Cohort 4.

It stated that the applicatio­n is for those working in the public sector in Africa, with a minimum of seven years of active service, at grade levels 12-17, and aged between 35-50 years at the time of applicatio­n.

The foundation said that

“applicatio­ns for the APLP Cohort 4 are now open and interested public servants are encouraged to visit aigimoukhu­edefoundat­ion.org/leaderspro­gramme for further informatio­n and to submit their applicatio­ns before the 30th of April, 2024.”

The programme is tailored for senior public leaders and delivered in partnershi­p with the Blavatnik School of Government, University of Oxford.

The APLP would offer an opportunit­y for participan­ts to expand their conceptual frameworks and acquire practical tools essential for addressing challenges they face, including bureaucrat­ic inefficien­cies, political interferen­ce, the inadequacy of structures and processes for effective policy developmen­t and implementa­tion.

It would feature a comprehens­ive curriculum designed to accelerate the mastery of essential competenci­es crucial for effective governance, covering topics ranging from governing in times of challenge and change, harnessing digital technologi­es, the pitfalls in decision-making, integrity in public life and strengthen­ing public organisati­ons.

The programme would be delivered through a blend of rigorous academic instructio­ns, interactiv­e workshops, and peer-to-peer learning, where participan­ts would engage in immersive experience­s that would enable them to lead with confidence and competence.
