ORIGIN and MISSION

DMI endeavours to empower grassroots through: Creation of a cadre of Development

Management Professionals, through post-graduate academic teaching programmes;

Enhancement of competencies for Development Management Praxis, through Competencies Enhancement Programmes (CEP);

Orientation of Vision, Values and Leadership Practices towards Good Governance, by working with organisations and institutions at different levels; and

Engagement in networked trans-disciplinary Action Research and Policy Advocacy, through its Collaborative Action Research and Education (CARE) centres.

EMPOWERING GRASSROOTS

Development refers to a process of changes in growth and capabilities over time, as function of both maturation of social, political, economic and cultural systems and interactions with the environment. Development is a relentless and continuous pursuit towards establishing an equitable and just society on a sustainable basis.

Inadequacies in implementation often mar most well-meaning development interventions.

Good governance and participatory management of resources, enterprises and institutions can significantly contribute to sustainable development.

Development management professionals of high quality, motivation and commitment can make a difference.

WHAT IS DEVELOPMENT MANAGEMENT

Post Graduate Programme in Development Management (PDM)

The pioneering activity of DMI is its two-year full-time Post-graduate Programme in Development Management (PDM) which aims at preparing its graduates to achieve: Personal growth by widening perspectives through interactive learning from

perspective-building, foundational, functional and integrative courses, and enriched by learning by doing and reflective dialoguing process; and

Transformation into Development Management Professionals by exposure to contextual realities during immersion, enterprise learning and apprenticeship modules, mediated by experiential learning from first-hand living and working in situ.

The curriculum is a fine mix of mutually reinforcing classroom learning and hands-on experiential learning through a network of diverse institutional partners of DMI.

The programme also offers opportunity to working executives and officials sponsored by DMI's associate organisations.
