CIFE Executive Training: Fragile States, Weak Institutions and Governance
Join us for a day-long Executive Training on Fragile States, Weak Institutions and Governance - Strategy and Policy Challenges to Stem Mass (E)migration, Brain Drain and Capital Flight!
An exclusive panel of seasoned professionals in the field will address the early warning signs of state collapse, assess the causes and consequences of institutional weakness and analyse the wide range of suitable policy responses. During this online workshop participants will have ample time to participate in the debate and engage with the experts in regular Q&A sessions.
