Masters Programme
The existence of a cadre of highly skilled public officials and civil society representatives is critical to the success of any decentralisation strategy. This is why the Multi-level government initiative hosts a dedicated Masters Programme on Local Government and Decentralisation at the University of the Western Cape. The Programme comprises modules, an internship and research and attracts students from across the continent.
Registered students can access material for the Local Government Law module, Law on Intergovernmental Relations module and the Law of Good Governance Module.
