SCHOOL OF DEVELOPMENT AND PUBLIC POLICIES

In a changing global economic context characterized by the acceleration of the dynamics of techno-productive transformation and the reconfiguration of geopolitical balances, Argentina is challenged with outlining the central bases of a federal, inclusive and sustainable development strategy.

One of the elements necessary to face this challenge is to strengthen the professional training of leaders and administrators involved in the process of preparing diagnoses, choosing instruments and evaluating the impact of public policies on productive development. In this regard, in 2021 we launched the “Management for Development” Federal Training Program in order to contribute to the creation of a federal network of leaders trained in issues related to the design and management of social and productive development policies in the Argentine provinces.

Following this path, the School of Development and Public Policies of the CFI seeks to complement the aforementioned training actions and expand their impact and scope.

The proposal seeks to create a new professional specialization profile oriented towards the design, administration and management of socio-productive policies from a provincial perspective and, at the same time, provide a diverse space that favors building professional relations, disseminating information, exchanging experiences and having informed discussions on the federal development of Argentina.

  • Argentine macroeconomics: Characteristics and distinctive features
  • Comparative economic development
  • Environment and sustainable development
  • Argentine productive structure I and II
  • Energy and mining resources
  • Infrastructure and logistics
  • Management of productive policies and local development
  • Project evaluation
  • Innovation and technological outreach
  • Topics of Argentine federalism
  • Political communication

The proposal is aimed at people with a strong interest and professional vocation in issues related to the management of public policies, innovation and socio-productive development; currently employed (or with previous experience) in provincial and/or municipal governments, public and/or private companies, universities, NGOs, sectoral chambers or related spaces; and, preferably, with complete university education. To participate, it is necessary to have graduated from one of the editions of the “Management for Development” Federal Training Program held in 2021 and 2022.

This is an in-person course held at the CFI headquarters (Buenos Aires City). Classes are taught from Monday to Thursday and consist of 6 class hours each day. Additionally, a study seminar is held on Fridays.

Each subject is coordinated by a teacher responsible for its organization and the delivery of the curriculum’s contents. There are also guest speakers with vast experience in politics and production.

Study seminars are a weekly space for consultation, debate and teamwork, allowing for exchanges among the participants on the several topics covered.

Regular attendance to the classes, the study seminars and the rest of the training activities is mandatory, and admitted students are expected to have an active participation. At the time of the final evaluation, the comprehensive performance of each participant throughout the program is taken into account.

The School of Development and Public Policies offers educational trips aimed at promoting direct contact with the production and social environment of Argentina, in addition to providing a space for building relationships, disseminating information, exchanging experiences, and discussing sustainable federal development. The purpose of these educational trips is to show participants firsthand how public policies are designed and implemented in the provinces, with the focus on how those policies relate to production, logistic, scientific, and technological activities.
