Through case studies, performance diagnostics, and accountability simulations, participants will develop competencies required to design performance management frameworks, strengthen reporting systems, and improve alignment between institutional objectives and measurable outcomes. The course also highlights leadership responsibility in promoting integrity and responsible management practices.
