Training/CfA - The Role Of Public Policy InPrivate Sector Development
The Leadership Academy for Development in Ukraine (LADU) is an executive-level training program that trains mid-level government officials and business sector leaders from developing countries to help the private sector be a constructive force for economic growth and development. The program is offered in partnership with Stanford University’s Center on Democracy, Development and the Rule of Law (CDDRL), Center for International Private Enterprise (CIPE) and The School of Public Management at Ukrainian Catholic University (SPM UCU).
Overview of Program
The Leadership Academy for Development in Ukraine is an intensive five-day executive-level training program that will teach selected participants how to be effective reform leaders, promoting sound public policies in complex and contentious settings. LADU will be led by Dr. Francis Fukuyama, Michael Bennon, and Michael A. McFaul, PhD.
During the five-day program, participants will acquire an analytical framework necessary to promote private sector growth through public policy. Participants will learn how to be successful reformers and leaders by analyzing stakeholders, sequencing actions, managing conflicts and building coalitions. In order to do so, policymakers must have a solid grasp of country-specific economic, financial, political and cultural realities.
This is a largely case-based curriculum with key lectures that will provide the necessary conceptual framework. The “case method” is a technique of teaching and learning through the analysis of actual events that have occurred, allowing you to gain a realistic understanding of the roles, responsibilities and analytical skills required of decision makers, as well as the tensions that may arise between various stakeholders with different objectives. Participants are encouraged to draw from their own experiences to enrich classroom discussions and stimulate debate.
