Governments around the world have been at the forefront in the fight against global crises. However, the disruptive nature of recent events has exposed a deeper level of vulnerability in our communities, by creating unprecedented socio-economic and cultural implications. During crises, public servants are faced with the unparalleled urgency to formulate new ways of thinking; adapt to new realities and prepare for the unknown future. 

 

At the end of the course, participants will be able to:

  • Recognize some of the recent challenges faced by public officials 
  • Identify contextual challenges due to a crisis and ensure business as usual policies in the public sector
  • Discuss different processes involved in crisis management, including soft skills related to communication strategies and leadership
  • Respond to governance challenges in post-crisis situations to ensure resilience for future crises
