Background
It is widely recognized that public administration education and training is an important precondition to effective governance and public administration. In response to the reality that there is a great need to improve the quality of education and training for governmental leadership the UNDESA Division for Public Administration and Development Management and the International Association of Schools and Institutes of Administration (IASIA) have been undertaking an initiative to improve the quality of education and training in public administration for both the current generation of governmental leaders and the next generation. The goal is to strengthen institutional capacity and, in so doing, have a significant impact on the development of effective leadership and transparent governance throughout the world. It is in this respect that the UNDESA/DPADM is organizing a discussion panel on standards of Excellence in Public Administration Education and training during the Annual conference of NISPAcee.
Objectives of the Panel
The main objectives of the panel is to bring the together specialists and practitioners in public administration education and training to reflect and exchange ideas, information, experiences, and best practices, in the area of Public Administration education and training especially given the challenges that are facing Public Sector leadership and management today and in the foreseeable future. It is expected that the exchanges will benefit managers of Public administration education and training institutes in their efforts to strengthen the human and institutional capacities of their institutes for improved public sector performance.

This initiative is focused on encouraging the creation of a regional mechanism for fostering training and education in public administration reform in the region.
Aims of the panel:

-To explain its proposed method of organisation and to reply to questions related to the role of the EU Schools of Public Administration to ReSPA and to exchange ideas and best practices.

Whereas e-Government targets the digital implementation of existing services towards better government, e-Governance underpins and aims at exploring the open area of collective problem solving capabilities and creativity linked with the development of information and communication technologies.
The panel session aims at fostering a creative discussion environment and comparison ground for practitioners, decision-makers, education experts and researchers involved in e-Governance activities. In addition to supporting analytical and management-level interactions, e-Governance aims also at making systematically more visible roles, view points and boundary issues for the various stakeholders involved; the cases presented and discussed in the panel should reflect the diversity of learning paths in all these concerns.

The WG will try to continue and upgrade the work and research which has been done over the last years and in particular during the Moscow conference. The aims and objectives of further research will be  focused on the specific problems and conditions of e-government development in particular but not exclusively in CEE countries. We will be aiming in directing research in as much as possible concrete framework of the region, hence trying to produce results important not only for academic discussion but also useful as a reference point by the key decision makers in the respected countries.

At the Moscow conference a wide range of a ‘country based’ reports has been presented and this year we will continue with additional country specific studies in order to get more holistic picture concerning e-government development in CEE countries. However in addition we will also try to deepen scope of our study with some field specific studies.

In exploring how public management addresses needs of multiethnic democracy, not all solutions come from traditional public administration or public administration training.  This session explores how different institutions can play a role, from multinational corporations to local government reforms.  We will also hear about a number of specific policy areas in which issues of ethnicity and public service delivery must be addressed, including housing, language policy, and migration.

Presenter(s):

The quality of government has a major impact on the lives of individual citizens and the orderly functioning of society. Systematic training programs are essential to ensure the quality of (future) government officials. Through accreditation, the European Association for Public Administration Accreditation (EAPAA) wants to make a contribution to the quality improvement and assurance of academic level Public Administration programs in Europe. The European Accreditation of Programs on Public Administration by EAPAA refers to: the evaluation and continuous improvement of Public Administration programs that are offered by European universities and other academic level institutes with regard to their ability to satisfy stated or implied standards of quality followed by a formal decision to recognize or not to recognize the program.

Information about the EAPAA, established in 1999, and all related documents for accreditation of public administration programmes can be accessed through their website http://www.eapaa.org/. The workshop session aims to provide institutions and individuals from the NISPAcee region with an opportunity to learn in more details about EAPAA businesses and also with an opportunity to contribute with comments and proposals on the EAPAA activities and functioning. Invited speakers will share with the conference participants their experiences of ongoing accreditations and preparation for accreditation. These speakers include the General Secretary of EAPAA, members of the Accreditation Committee and representatives of programmes which have already been accredited. Opportunities for accreditation of PA programmes from CEE countries will be discussed. Members and potential members of EAPAA are invited to participate.
