The ALMP programme aspires to prepare leaders who are able to meet the ever-increasing standards of the public and stakeholder expectations. This is to complement the human capital and leadership development initiatives of the public service.

These expectations can only be met with leaders who possess traits and qualities such as flexibility and responsiveness based on the judicious use of their experiences as well as having the vision and knowledge to deliver the very best for their respective organisations and to the public service in general.

Senior executives who assume the highest leadership portfolios in ministries and agencies must be able to demonstrate various leadership capabilities such as being strategic thinkers and catalysts for change in addition to being excellent developers and administrators.
