Uganda Management Institute (UMI) Postgraduate Diploma in Public Policy and Governance (DPPG)
Introduction
The core curriculum of the programme is in response to capacity gaps in policy analysis and programme evaluation initially identified in a commissioned study by the Ministry of Finance, Planning and Economic Development (MFPED) titled “Public sector Capacity For Policy, Gender and budget Analysis – Capacity Needs Assessment” in 2009 and reaffirmed by the National Development Plan (NDP). It is a combination of policy analysis, programme evaluation and governance.
