Institute of Governance and Development Introduction

The Institute of Governance and Development, was officially registered on the 1st of

March 2011, as an Institution of Specialized Training Institute under the Ministry of

Education (Department of Higher Education), with a view to contribute to strengthening

governance and development education and awareness in the Maldives.

Our Mission:

To contribute to the acceleration of sustainable economic and social development and

good governance in the Maldives and to promote formulation of appropriate policies

towards this end.

Our Goals:

Increase competence and efficient, effective and transparent governance and

corporate administration amongst local councils

Deliver high quality, relevant human resource development programs for senior and

mid-level officials, private sector and non-government representatives in the areas of

sustainable development, poverty alleviation, integration and management of reform

Implement research programs that contribute to effective policy formulation on

governance and development.

Promote inter-council cooperation and cooperation between the government and

local councils as well as amongst other related sectors.

Rationale:

Decentralization will require local communities, spearheaded by the councils, to

undertake a number of roles that they have previously not undertaken. The Law on Decentralization stipulates that councils will have to provide municipal services, provide primary education, health care as well as facilitate adult learning opportunities. It

mandates councils to prepare Development Plans and budgets. It seeks to promote participatory, transparent and accountable mechanisms in the discharge of its functions.

For efficient service delivery and for effective development management, council

members, their secretariats, other partnering groups such as NGOs and women’s committees and government representatives should be provided with necessary

knowledge and skills. Such knowledge and skills should include, but not be limited to, personal effectiveness, leadership and team building, good governance and democracy, strategic planning, community mobilization, financial management, business planning,

environmental management, fundraising and project formulation.

The Institute of Governance and Development aims to provide all of the above within its

curriculum. The subjects identified above are structured to provide councilors and related stakeholders a comprehensive training, to bring them up to a certificate level 1 thus contributing towards their performance.
