With the establishment of Public Administration Leadership and Management Academy (PALAMA) in 2008, the President of South Africa reiterated the critical importance of a specific agenda for continuing public service improvement and the urgent need for applicable public service training and management development. The President of our country also emphasised the significance of the involvement and collaboration of universities and the fact that their appropriate participation is critical to address these needs.

In 2009, CUT became a member of exclusive consortia involved in the presenting of the Executive Development Programme (EDP) in different cities throughout South Africa.

EDP is one of the high-profile management development programmes of the Presidential Strategic Leadership Portfolio (PSLDP), and target groups include new and aspiring Directors and Chief Directors in the South African Public Sector. The three leading universities were the North-West University, Vaal University of Technology and the Nelson Mandela Metropolitan University. The group has since expanded to include the University of Johannesburg (UJ), University of Witwatersrand (Wits), University of the Free State (UFS), Durban University of Technology (DUT) and University of KwaZulu-Natal (UKZN). Through our involvement, CUT illustrates a commitment to contribute in this critical area and to play a professional role in the promotion of excellence in the field of Public Administration and Management in South Africa.
