Funded through a grant of US$ 4.74 million under a 2017 MoU, the state-of-the-art institute will cater to the training needs of Mauritian civil servants across ministries, public offices, parastatal bodies, and government enterprises. Beyond the training, the institute would serve as a centre of excellence in public administration, fostering research, governance studies, and institutional linkages with India.
