The Malawi School of Government (MSG) and Chandler Institute of Governance (CIG), together with UNDP Malawi and Cambridge Governance Labs (CGL) celebrate the launch of the inaugural Malawi Public Service Leadership Milestone Programme on 29 April 2024, following months of planning and preparation.   Leadership milestone programmes are important platforms for capability development in any public service. They are tailored to the key stages of a public service leader’s career, and are integral for improving technical skills, building a shared ethos, and encouraging collaboration and alignment between Ministries, Departments and Agencies.   The Malawi Public Service Leadership Milestone Programme has been specially designed for this purpose following a comprehensive needs analysis exercise. The curriculum was developed by the MSG’s faculty and experts in collaboration with CIG and CGL, thus ensuring a good blend of international perspectives and local expertise. The inaugural cohort was intentionally selected to ensure a good representation across the Malawi Public Service, and consists of 15 Directors from central government and 35 District Commissioners and Chief Executive Officers from local government.   CIG is honoured to be a part of this important milestone in public sector development, and we are committed to continuing our work with the Government of Malawi to build effective and inclusive public institutions and strengthen civil service capabilities.   We are excited for the weeks ahead dedicated to learning, to new discoveries and to building camaraderie.

It has been a privilege to work with the Malawi School of Government, the Chandler Institute of Governance, our brilliant facilitators Garton Kamchedzera, Chikosa Banda and Paul Jones, and our management team for helping to develop such a promising programme designed to transform decision-making.

Brilliant week delivering our Ethical Governance training programme at the Malawi School of Government. Great feedback on the Personal Ethics, Fiduciary Leadership and Administrative Justice modules. Looking forward to the next phase.
