Advanced Public Sector Financial Management
The proper management of public sector finances in any economy is an important requirement. This is because it is the process that guarantees
preferred quality in the provisioning of public sector services by public institutions. In addition to identifying some of the key socio-economic
concerns impacting public sector management of finances, this programme builds on the earlier one (basic). The programme will include ICT use in procurement and allocation of resources, examination in some detail, of challenges and opportunities in the adoption and adaptation of public
private partnership (PPP) models to augment public coffers in meeting expanded public service demands.
A wide range of senior public officials in local and central government authorities who have responsibilities in the areas of finance and accounts,
auditing, resource procurement, investments and projects management, and development planning, among others.
At the end of the programme, participants will be able to:
- Examine different policy options and models for mobilizing and allocating public resources for economic growth and human
development; - Analyze and evaluate alternative external finance sources in order to be able to make informed choices and decisions among competing bilateral and multilateral sources;
- Examine the technological and practicality of various public policies and their impact on good public sector financial governance and
reduction of fraudulent and corrupt practices
