Why IIGL ?

 

In recent past, world has been witnessing a convergence in the interests of Government, Business and Civil Society leading to a shift in the thinking of people. As a result, the civil societies all over the world expect a certain responsible behaviour from business leaders as well as Political leaders i.e Ministers, members of Parliament and various other Government Officers. It has been well established through several studies and research findings that ‘Growth & Sustainable Development’ of societies cannot be attained by weak governance in any country. This has catapulted the issue of “Good Governance”  Center Stage, globally. Governance includes Public Governance (PG) as well as Corporate Governance (CG).

 

 

A Holistic Approach:

 

There is a strong correlation between Public Governance (PG) and Corporate Governance (CG), they are like the two sides of the same coin. These two issues are so inextricably intertwined that one cannot be improved without the other; hence both need to be dealt simultaneously. It is with this ‘holistic approach’ in mind, that International Institute for Governance & Leadership (IIGL), has been set up. IIGL will develop, orient and sensitize leaders from Public Governance arena like , political leaders & government officials, leaders from private sector, civil society & social sector. IIGL aims to focus on novel and multidisciplinary approaches in orienting these leaders.

 

 

As a non profit independent International institute, IIGL will champion the cause of ‘Good Governance and ‘Sustainable Development’ by undertaking cutting edge ‘Research & Publication, Advocacy, teaching, training and consulting. IIGL will co-create and disseminate knowledge in areas like; Public policy and planning for strengthening democratic institutions, democratic governance and corporate governance. Also Ethical Leadership & innovation, Human rights policy, Political and Administrative reforms, election finance, presidential and gubernatorial politics, representative government, the politics of race and ethnicity, and globalization.

 

IIGL will be an Institute for the new professional governing class. Political, administrative & corporate leaders have a vision but that is not enough – effective governance and good quality of public administration competencies are critical aspects. IIGL will focus on training leaders from various streams in effective governance & leadership.
