ICMA was honored to have participated in the Good Governance Executive Leadership Program managed by PIMD in 2022. The program was well developed and organized and ICMA valued the exchange with the participants- local government officials and technical directors from Senegal. As an international membership association, ICMA values these types of engagement which provide opportunities to share good practices and improve good governance worldwide.

It was a pleasure working with PIMD, I appreciate your service in delivering a wonderful simulation excercise during Yale University Leadership Forum for Strategic Impact Forum. Thank you for joining us.

I am particularly pleased that the U.S. Embassy, through the Public Diplomacy Section, can support PIMD programs to strengthen human capital and good governance. Congratulations to PIMD – you did a fantastic job, and we are all impressed by your professionalism.

Participating in the inaugural Good Governance Executive Leadership (GGEL) program in 2022 hosted by the PIMD has been an extraordinary journey of growth and transformation. PIMD’s commitment to advancing municipal development across Africa is evident in the rich curriculum and hands-on approach to effective leadership, enhancing transparency and accountability of municipal organizations.
