Topics: governance sustainable development public administration inclusive growth

The National College of Public Administration and Governance (NCPAG), University of the Philippines (UP) is organizing the 2017 NCPAG International Conference on “Public Administration in Changing Times: New Norms and Sustainable Reforms” on 22-25 August 2017 in Manila, Philippines. This is also in celebration of the College’s 65^th Anniversary in June 2017. The NCPAG is the premier center of excellence in Public Administration education, research and public service in the Philippines and the region.

The Conference aims to bring together scholars, researchers, and practitioners of Public Administration (PA) and other related fields in a collective analysis of new norms and sustainable reforms that challenge the performance of governments, public institutions and their governance partners all over the world. It also aims to foster the exchange of ideas about the future of governing and governance in changing times.

Specifically, it aims to:

Document the wealth of knowledge, experiences, and practices related to new norms and sustainable reforms in Public Administration.
Generate research on theories and practices of public administration and governance from new normal perspectives.
Engender a more inclusive design and implementation of policies, programs and other initiatives that will address the long overdue societal problems of poverty, corruption, climate change and underdevelopment.
Strengthen partnerships among PA scholars and practitioners to create a stronger voice in the pursuit of a more responsive and accountable public administration.

The 2017 NCPAG International Conference invites researchers, scholars and practitioners, and all interested stakeholders to share their researches on public policies, new norms in public administration, and sustainable development reforms.
