The Executive Development Programme on Public Policy and Management (EDP) is based on a curriculum that provides strong conceptual foundations for analysis, management and advocacy. It will further focus on methods and case studies that are particularly relevant to the issues and challenges faced by Negara Brunei Darussalam. The curriculum is based on the overarching objective of preparedness for the challenges that Brunei would face in the next stage of Brunei’s national development.
