Dean’s Message

Dr. Patrick Tandoh-Offin

Dean, School of Public Service and Governance

I welcome you to the website of the School of Public Service and Governance (SPSG), one of the key academic sectors at GIMPA. The School was given its current name in August 2013 following the merger of the former GIMPA Public Services School (GPSS) and the School of Governance and Leadership (SGL), which were both established in 2005 to provide graduate training in Public Sector Management and Development.

The School of Public Service and Governance (SPSG) offers a setting that fosters the growth of a variety of gifts and talents, making it an interesting place to be. Our undergraduate and Postgraduate programs in governance, public, and development management enable our students to become leaders with the moral complexity and intellectual rigor required to tackle the challenges of an important period of social transition in our developmental states.


Public leaders today are faced with a wide range of challenges, from the local to the global, that frequently call into question the authority of institutions and the function of individuals in resolving public issues. Recent governance failures highlight the need for a fresh perspective on public policy that recognizes both the opportunity for educated and involved citizens as well as the constraints of the state.
