Helmut-Schmidt-Programme (Master’s Scholarships for Public

Policy and Good Governance - PPGG) • DAAD

Overview

Objective
The DAAD Helmut-Schmidt-Programme (known as Public Policy and Good Governance) supports future leaders from developing countries
(see list of countries), who want to promote democracy and social justice in their home countries. The programme, which is funded by the
German Federal Foreign Office, offers the chance to acquire a Master’s degree in Master programmes of particular relevance for the social,
political and economic development in the students’ countries of origin. In the light of the principles of Good Governance, highly qualified
graduates with a first academic degree are being educated in political science, law, economics and administration and prepared for future
leading positions in their home countries.
