Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Infobox school

The Ghana Institute of Management and Public Administration (GIMPA) is a public co-educational university spread over four campuses (Accra, Tema, Kumasi and Takoradi) and made up of six schools, ten research centers located at Greenhill in Accra, Ghana.[1]

The location of GIMPA, Greenhill, was named by Nicholas T. Clerk (1930 – 2012) who served as the Rector of the institute from 1977 to 1982.[2][3] The name, "Greenhill", is a reference to the lush greenery and hilly topography of the main campus, as well as its location in Legon which was historically on the periphery of the Ghanaian capital, Accra.[3] Together with 200 state institutions, GIMPA successfully participated in a Public Sector Reform Programme under the auspices of the World Bank and became a self-financing institution as part of the National Institutional Reform Programme in 2001.

History

It was established as a public university by an Act of Parliament in 2004. The institute was established in 1961 by the Government of Ghana with assistance from the United Nations Special Fund Project and was initially called the Institute of Public Administration, intended as a specialist training graduate school for civil servants in Ghana.[4] Today, GIMPA offers bachelor's, master's and executive master's degree programmes in business administration, entrepreneurship, law, public administration, development management, governance, leadership and technology.[4][5]

Vission: To position GIMPA clearly as the pre-eminent Centre of Excellence focused on capacity building in leadership, management, public administration and sustainability to support Ghanaian and African socioeconomic advancement.[6]

Mission: GIMPA’s primary purpose is to develop distinctive and capable public servants, private sector and non-governmental organizations’ leaders with a strong sense of humanity to support sustainable national development.[6]


At the centre of GIMPA's logo is the tripodal tower, which surges into the sky. It is inspired by the original motto of “Self Reverence, Self Knowledge and Self Control”. This motto was taken from the poem “Oenone” by 19th century British poet Alfred Lord Tennyson. The relevant section reads:

“…Self-reverence, self-knowledge, self-control,

These three alone lead life to sovereign power.

Yet not for power (power of herself

Would come uncall’d for) but to live by law,

Acting the law we live by without fear;

And, because right is right, to follow right

Were wisdom in the scorn of consequence”.[7][8][9]

Borrowing from ancient traditions, these handcrafted ceremonial pieces create interest and respect by both participants and observers. They are important representations honouring GIMPA’s continuity and academic strength.
