The Master Programmes in Development (MpD), is a department jointly established between the Bolivian Catholic University and the Harvard Institute for International Development. MpD is oriented at the formation and training of cadres for public and private management in Latin America, with especial focus on Bolivia. The main goal of the programme is to foster the efficiency of the state apparatus enabling it to consolidate the democratic process in the country, sustain economic growth, perform an efficient regulatory role over private agents, and reduce the increasing social inequality. Enhancing public management is a central concern in the MpD’s teaching and research programmes.

The department also has two publications, which are very useful vehicles for academic debate and diffusion of research findings. Leviatán, journal dedicated to public policy analysis, and Alta Gerencia, a journal targeted to managers and decision makers.
