Executive Program for Leaders in Development

PALIKIR, Pohnpei (FSM Information Service): February 20, 1997 – The John F. Kennedy School of Government and Harvard Institute of International Development are sponsoring an Executive Program for Leaders in Development, to be held at Harvard University, Cambridge Massachusetts, from June 8 to the 18, 1997, and are inviting interested participants including political leaders, senior-level policy makers and managers, executives of public affairs organizations, and leaders of non-governmental organizations and development agencies, according to an invitation letter from Merilee S. Grindle, Kennedy School of Government (KSG) Faculty Chair, and John W. Thomas, Harvard Institute of International Development (HIID) Faculty Chair, Harvard University. The letter was received on February 5, 1997, by FSM President’s Office of Information.

The program will focus on the opportunities and tensions that emerge as countries move toward more participatory politics, more open economies, and more integration into an evolving global economy.

The purpose of the program is to help participants sharpen their problem-solving, analytic, and strategic action skills as they contribute to major policy and institutional changes.

The goal of the program is for participants to return to their countries with greater capacity to define problems and analyze policy options, a broader perspective on the task of leadership, and a renewed commitment to work with others to make a difference to the development of their societies.
