. It envisions to build a strong foundation for the development and strengthening of management systems and processes among the government institutions. More so, this serves as a guide in improving organizational productivity and performance and generating relevant results.

This year marks another milestone in the DAP’s commitment for enhancing the quality of public services delivery. The DAP was designated as the APO’s Center of Excellence (COE) on Public Sector Productivity. This conferment not only signifies the DAP’s expertise but also a testament of the need to explore and address critical issues in improving public sector productivity.

To complement all these initiatives, the DAP is introducing the first national Best Practice Competition exclusive only for public sector organizations. It will be named as the Government Best Practice Competition (GBPC) 2015.

As the DAP performs its role as a change agent in building capacities and developing innovative ideas and solutions in improving public sector productivity, the DAP also acknowledges that many outstanding performance of government agencies are not shared, disseminated and recognized. Thus, it becomes imperative to institutionalize knowledge sharing on the exemplary practices among government institutions. This recognition gave birth to the idea of launching the GPBC.

The GPBC seeks to promote and showcase outstanding practices demonstrated by public sector organizations. It provides an opportunity to share and learn from each other’s experiences and develop a sense of commitment and responsibility to keep an eye for the exemplary level of work practices and continuous improvement. The GBPC is one of the DAP’s initiatives that depicts the movement for performance excellence in the public sector.

The best practices may be treated only as small victories but these may create big impact and significant change on how public sector organizations deliver the services.

What’s in it for the public sector organizations to participate?:
** Recognize organizations who have gone the extra mile to exhibit outstanding practices;
** Receive immediate feedback from the judges after the presentation, in improving and sustaining the best practices;
** Build awareness of and learn from the effective and innovative work practices among the public sector;
** Expand your organization’s network and build partnerships;
** Privilege to be part of the public sector’s Community of Practice;
** Opportunity to join in the International Best Practice Competition;
