Managing Global Governance (MGG) Academy
German Development Institute, Deutsches Institut für Entwicklungspolitik (DIE)The Managing Global Governance (MGG) Academy brings together participants from rising powers of the South and from Europe to participate in a dialogue and advanced training programme. Its overarching purpose is to support the development of future ‘change-makers’ who can address global challenges and dedicate themselves to transformational change.

During the 3 ½ month course, the young professionals from government bodies, policy-oriented think tanks, research institutions and NGOs discuss pressing global challenges, explore options for global governance, and design solutions for the future.

The Academy is based on the premise that future change makers need profound knowledge of content and the ability to analyse complex interdependencies as well as personal and social skills. The course thus blends knowledge components on global governance challenges with the development of the participants’ leadership competencies. In an action-oriented component, participants apply the knowledge and competencies they have acquired and develop a collective change project.

The working methods include academic discussions, visits to institutions and field trips, exchange with professionals working in the field of global governance, practical experience and participatory approaches as well as self-guided project work. Since diversity is one of the key assets of the programme, ample space is given for learning from each others’ experiences and perspectives.

Postgraduate Programme of the German Development Institute
German Development Institute, Deutsches Institut für Entwicklungspolitik (DIE)The Postgraduate Programme of the German Development Institute starts every year at the 1st of September and covers a period of nine months. The first eleven weeks of the Postgraduate Programme take place in Bonn. The seminar topics range from specific development issues and global challenges up to methodological workshops for professional writing and improving your communicative and soft skills. The Institute relies on classical teaching and self-study but also group working and simulation games.

The main focus of the training is an empirical and counselling-orientated research project in a developing or emerging country within a Research Team (RT). The projects are prepared and organised in three teams under the instruction and direction of scientists from the German Development Institute / Deutsches Institut für Entwicklungspolitik (DIE).

Postgraduate Training Programme for Development Cooperation
German Development Institute, Deutsches Institut für Entwicklungspolitik (DIE)Development cooperation is changing: Long gone is the practice of transferring knowledge, financial resources and skilled people from the global North to the South in a one-way fashion. Today, we are in need of mutual learning and common strategies. Junior and experienced professionals have to meet these requirements. Each year, the nine-month Postgraduate Training Programme of the German Development Institute / Deutsches Institut für Entwicklungspolitik (DIE) prepares up to 18 German and European university graduates for the challenging tasks and responsibilities of international development cooperation. Participants learn to deal with the practical challenges of sustainable development in a globalised world. Core part of the training programme is a research project in a developing or transition country: within small and interdisciplinary groups, participants design and conduct a study for eleven weeks and later evaluate and conclude the results once they are back in Bonn.
