Report of the Sixth United Nations Public Service Day and Awards Ceremony

The United Nations hosted the Sixth Public Service Awards Ceremony and commemorated Public Service Day in New York on 23 June 2008 in Conference Room 2. The UN Public Service Awards (UNPSA) are handed out every year on 23 June, which has been designated by the United Nations General Assembly as Public Service Day (A/RES/57/277). The UNPSA Programme was launched as a result of the deliberations of the 15th session of the Group of Experts on the United Nations Programme in Public Administration and Finance. During that session, the Expert Group recommended that an annual event be organized to recognize and encourage excellence in public administration by UNDESA - through its Division for Public Economics and Public Administration (now Division for Public Administration and Development Management).
