COURSE OVERVIEW
One of the critical factors for successful implementation of policy is committed and competent leadership. People involved in the policy formulation may not be the one who implement the policy. Policy implementation requires a different set of competencies than those needed for policy formulation. Effective and committed leadership is one such skill.
