Problems with the press nothwithstanding over whether the Rector Dr.Stephen Adei is a professor or not, GIMPA remains a beautifully plush (and expensive) place to enjoy very high-quality education. Here's what the website says:
The Ghana Institute of Management and Public Administration (GIMPA) was established in 1961 as a joint Ghana Government/United Nations special Fund Project. It was originally the Institute of Public Administration established as one of the key strategic institutions to develop the public administrative system and to produce civil servants with administrative and professional competence to plan and administer national, regional and local services.
In 1966, the joint sponsorship ended and the UN formally handed over the Institute to the Government of Ghana. The Institute was re-designated the Ghana Institute of Management and Public Administration (GIMPA) in 1969 to reflect its enlarged focus.
GIMPA’s activities over the past forty five (45) years have been guided by five successive mandates from the first Legislative Instrument of 1961 to the current GIMPA Law 2004 (Act 676). Each one has affirmed the status of the Institute as the nation’s leading management development institution to provide the study of Public Administration and Management in Ghana. In line with the government’s public sector reform initiatives, GIMPA has been restructured into a self-financing organization with a new structure to meet its new mandate.
