UNPOG : News & Events - Regional Symposium

Symposium on "Strengthening Capacities of Public Institutions for Transformational Leadership, Innovation and Inclusion to Realize the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and Agenda 2063 in East Africa"

 
Key Messages
- Governance is an accelerator for SDG implementation and lack of public administration capacity has constituted a bottleneck in achieving SDGs for many African countries.
- Transformational leadership, which requires new mindsets and new competencies of public servants, is critical in achieving the 2030 Agenda and the Agenda 2063.
- The whole of government approach is important for enhancing national-local institutional effectiveness, localizing SDGs, and bolstering local actions.
- Emerging challenges in implementing the SDGs, such as climate change, require the continuous innovation in research and policy making, including through the continuous review of curricular for schools of public administration.
- Innovation is key to social inclusion of vulnerable groups – from innovating the public services to their specific needs and improving their access to public services to engaging and working with vulnerable groups.
