Bienvenidos a las Naciones Unidas
The United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs (UN DESA), through its Division for Public Institutions and Digital Government (DPIDG) and its Project Office on Governance (UNPOG), and the International Association of Schools and Institutes of Administration (IASIA), organized an “Expert Group Meeting (EGM) of the UN DESA/IASIA Global Task Force: Towards New Standards of Excellence for Public Administration Education and Training”. The EGM took place at United Nations Headquarters from 14 to 15 October 2024. The meeting was by invitation only.
The objective of the EGM was to discuss and agree on new and updated Standards of Excellence for Public Administration Education and Training based on the contributions of over 1000 experts from around the globe who met through various global and regional workshops, and an online survey that was administered in five languages. The Standards of Excellence were finalized in 2008 almost 15 years ago. While the Standards are still relevant today, they do not refer to recent inter-governmental agreements and to the insights from the work undertaken by UN DESA/DPIDG and IASIA in the area of education and training.
