This five day course is aimed at managers and professionals in government, regulatory authorities, utilities, civil society and the private sector working in the electricity or water sectors.
The course is offered by the Management Programme in Infrastructure Reform and Regulation (MIR) at the Graduate School of Business (GSB), University of Cape Town. MIR is a leading centre of excellence and expertise in Africa and emerging economies. The course is run in association with the African Forum of Utility Regulators and the Regional Electricity Regulators Association of Southern Africa.
Leaders, managers and professionals in infrastructure sectors around the world are facing new and complex challenges. State-owned, vertically integrated, monopoly industries are being restructured to improve performance, and private sector participation is frequently on the agenda. New regulatory regimes are being put in place and reformed utilities need to deliver expanded and affordable services for the poor, while underpinning and supporting economic growth. This programme, focussed on Africa's needs, exposes participants to the frontiers of international experience, and to best practice in managing these changes and the new regulatory environment effectively. A number of case studies from Africa are presented. Participants will also be given a thorough grounding in the fundamentals and practice of economic regulation of utilities.
