NISPAcee participation in new OECD Initiatives

The OECD Network of Schools of Government was launched in February 2014 during the OECD meeting on Open Government in Caserta, Italy. Ludmila Gajdosova, NISPAcee’s Executive Director, participated in this meeting as both the IASIA Vice President and NISPAcee representative. She was invited to participate in the Steering Committee of this new initiative as NISPAcee’s representative.

This event brought together representatives of national schools of public administration and other training and research institutions, policy-makers, international, regional and national associations of schools of public administration, the OECD secretariat, and other stakeholders. In addition to the discussion on building capacities in open government, the meeting provided an opportunity to shape the next steps in the partnership of the OECD and National Schools of Public Administration and led to the establishment of the new OECD Network.
