Year 3 - 2020: Administrative Decentralization and Management for Myanmar
Recap and reflections of the previous programs Background The Fulbright School of Public Policy and Management (FSPPM) in cooperation with the Renaissance Institute (RI) will conduct an executive education program, sponsored by The Canadian International Development Research Centre, on local public finance and fiscal decentralization. This program is designed specifically for government officials, member of the parliaments, and researchers from universities or research organizations in Myanmar who are responsible for managing and analyzing local public finance. The four-day course, from December 1 to 4, will be conducted online. Instructors and speakers are from Fulbright University Vietnam and Harvard University. Objectives The program responds to a gap in technical capacity which has emerged as the Myanmar government progressively devolve responsibility for public finance decisions to state and regional administrative levels. The course will better enable participants to design and implement administrative decentralization and management. Over a four-day period, the program will recap and reflects topics in the previous two years and new topics including: administrative decentralization, budgeting and planning, evaluation and crisis management with Covid-19.
