1. Public Service Values

The program prepares present and future leaders dedicated to serving the public interest by instilling public service values, contributing to high-quality public services, engaging meaningfully with their communities, and ensuring that no one is left behind in the pursuit of sustainable development.

The faculty and administration of the education and training program are fundamentally committed to public service values, including professionalism, integrity, transparency, accountability, service orientation, innovation, collaboration, participation, and inclusiveness. They are dedicated to advancing the public interest and promoting democratic, effective, accountable, and inclusive institutions at all levels, consistently embodying these values in all their activities.

This commitment is demonstrated through their advocacy for and nurturing of mindsets that foster a culture rooted in democratic values, the rule of law, and ethical leadership and behavior. They exemplify these values in their interactions with public organizations and institutions, as well as in their work with students and trainees. The program’s internal governance also reflects these ideals, upholding high standards of competence, inclusiveness, diversity, integrity, transparency, accountability, and independence.

Through teaching, training, engagement in research and practice, technical assistance, and community service activities, the faculty and trainers nurture students and trainees to uphold public service values.
