ABOUT AAPAM
The African Association for Public Administration and Management (AAPAM) was established in 1971 as an international professional organisation that promotes best practice and excellence in public administration and management in Africa. The Office is located in UN Avenue, Nairobi Kenya. The key activities of the Association include research, publications, training, seminars, consultancy, conferences and awards. The AAPAM membership is comprised of African governments, private sector, civil society, international organizations, practitioners, academicians and young professionals. The innovative management concept emphasizes on the importance of service delivery in the public sector. It puts emphasis on continuous learning without necessarily having to attend formal training. It further promotes environments whereby employees are able to come up with solutions and new methods of providing service and dealing with customers. A pivotal way of executing this mandate is through research, which in turn allows employees to come up with solutions. The efforts of AAPAM date back to 1962, when a group of Permanent Secretaries in charge of Public Services from several African countries, met to discuss problems facing the African Public Services then. Such meetings continued and led to the culmination of the Association in 1971. The Government of the Kingdom of Eswatini is an official member of APAAM and therefore participates in their events, which include sitting in forums to exchange information and ideas with other African countries on pertinent issues affecting public sector performance. Other activities include participating in management awards, fellowship programmes and calls for research papers.
INNOVATIVE MANAGEMENT AWARDS (IMA)
The Innovative Management Awards were established in 2005 as one of AAPAM’s initiatives to enable African countries to participate and showcase innovations in service delivery which are contributing towards a high performing public service. AAPAM IMA is consistent with Agenda 2063 and the SDGs which promotes innovations, a key driver for the transformation and modernization of African public services as well as sustainable development. Similarly, the Eswatini Government’s Strategic Roadmap and the Ministry of Public Service Strategic Plan advocate for innovation in order to attain the culture of service excellence in the public service.
As per the Government In-Service Training Policy, the Department of Human Resource Development (HRD) also seeks to foster continuous learning through innovation in Government. Innovation enables the learning process to continue in the workplace, even post formal training. This culminates through the generation of creative ideas which address organizational challenges and improve performance.
