The Network of Asia-Pacific Schools and Institutes of Public Administration and Governance (NAPSIPAG)* is a network of professionals formed to encourage the continuing development of public administration theory and practice through research, education and training, and foster cooperation and collaboration between and among the members in the pursuit of common interests.
An international conference held on 6-8 December 2004 in Kuala Lumpur officially launched NAPSIPAG with over a hundred institutions in attendance representing 26 countries of the Asia-Pacific region. Conducted in partnership with the National Institute of Public Administration (INTAN) – Malaysia, the conference provided a venue for public administration educators and practitioners to share expertise and experiences on "The Role of Public Administration in Alleviating Poverty and Improving Governance."
This publication contains selected papers from the six conference workshops. Five workshop sessions deal with leadership and change management, strengthening democratic institutions, citizen empowerment through participation, economic and financial management, and effective public service delivery. A sixth special workshop session on the challenges of teaching public administration and policy in the region traces educational innovations in this field.
