Since 1927, the Carl Vinson Institute of Government has worked with public officials
throughout Georgia and around the world to improve governance and people's lives.
From Georgia's early days as a largely agrarian state with a modest population to
its modern-day status as a national and international force in business, industry
and politics with a population of 10 million, we have helped government leaders navigate
change and forge strong directions for a more prosperous Georgia.
Every day, more than 150 faculty and staff provide technical assistance, training and technology solutions to Georgia's state and local governments as well as governments around the world. To learn more about the Institute of Government and our work, view our annual report.
As a Public Service and Outreach unit of the University of Georgia, we share in the university’s overarching public service mission of extending our resources of professional knowledge and expertise to help communities improve their quality of life. Fundamental to quality of life in Georgia and around the world is effective, efficient, and responsive governance.
Our mission is to enhance the capacity of governments to serve citizens in Georgia and around the world. By improving governance, every day we improve the lives of people worldwide.
