Steering Committee of the Master of Research and Public Policy
The Master of Research and Public Policy (MRPP) is governed by a Steering Committee, which guides all aspects of development and implementation of the collaborative programme. It operates through working groups with technical and academic expertise from each of the 12 universities in seven countries and PASGR-appointed external resource persons.
It is composed of senior representatives designated by the Vice-Chancellor of each participating university and PASGR’s Director of Higher Education.
The Committee’s input was crucial during course design, the launch of the programme as well periodic monitoring and evaluation. Its mandate covers course development and upgrading together with ensuring that the MRPP maintains the high standards that are its hallmark. It meets four times a year, including by teleconference.
