Recent course: 20 – 24 April: The Role of Public Policy in Private Sector Development

Private sector performance is a key factor driving any country’s growth and development; government policies and programmes can either stimulate or inhibit sustainable growth in the private sector.

The University of Cape Town’s Graduate School of Development Policy and Practice (GSDPP), in collaboration with the Leadership Academy for Development (LAD), an affiliate of Stanford University, are offering a 5-day, intensive course in April 2015 targeted at high level government officials and business leaders from South Africa and other African countries.

The course will explore how government can encourage and enable the private sector to play a more effective, productive role in economic growth and development and address some of the challenges faced by public sector leaders as they foster economic growth in politically-charged environments. The course will run from 20 – 24 April in Cape Town. For further information about the course, please contact the GSDPP at 021 650 5669.
