The Ghana Institute of Management and Public Administration (GIMPA) was established in 1961 as a joint Ghana Government/United Nations (UN) special fund project.
In 1966, the joint sponsorship ended and the UN formally handed over the Institute to the Government of Ghana.
In 1969, the Institute was then re-designated as the Ghana Institute of Management and Public Administration to reflect its expanded functions.
Each mandate affirmed the status of the Institute as the national management development institute to provide for the study of public administration and management of Ghana.
By its latest mandate, GIMPA now offers courses in its areas of competence leading to the award of certificates, diplomas and degrees up to the doctoral level.

GIMPA's mission is to maintain a center of excellence for training in public and business administration, continuously improving the capacity of middle and senior managers in the public and private sectors as well as non-governmental organizations (NGOs), both in Ghana and abroad, to manage their institutions and enterprises efficiently and effectively.
In addition to institutional accreditation, GIMPA's academic programs are also accredited by the National Accreditation Council.
GIMPA offers a diverse roster of programmes for 2025/26- ranging from foundational certificates to doctoral degrees-across business, technology, governance, law, and public service.
