Apolitical, the world's largest network and social learning platform for governments, is delighted to announce its partnership with the World Bank to co-host the 2024 Public Administration Global Forum.
Scheduled to take place in Washington DC from 28-29 May 2024, this prestigious event aims to explore the role of transformative governance in building sustainable and livable environments across the globe. The forum's focus this year, ‘Transforming Governments for a Livable Planet’, aligns powerfully with Apolitical’s mission to build 21st century governments that work for people and the planet.
As a co-host, Apolitical will bring insights from its global community of a quarter of a million public servants, contributing to a diverse and dynamic discussion rooted in the shared challenges public servants are facing around the world. These sessions will address critical themes such as digital transformation in governments, climate action and the need to hire and retain global talent. Ministers, deputy ministers, commissioners, Directors General and other senior government leaders from more than 40 countries will be attending.
This partnership underscores Apolitical’s commitment to building 21st century governments through collaboration and shared learning. “We’re delighted to partner with the World Bank to co-host this important event,” said Robyn Scott, co-founder and CEO of Apolitical. “This collaboration facilitates a much-needed conversation on the future of government in the 21st century as governments face unprecedented challenges and opportunities, including climate change and the urgent need for digital skills to power transformation in government. Our focus on capacity building for public servants’ means Apolitical is uniquely positioned to help governments deliver transformative impact at scale.”
Other Global Forum co-hosts include the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP); Stanford’s Center on Democracy, Development and the Rule of Law at the Freeman Spogli Institute for International Studies, (CDDRL); The Blavatnik School of Government at the University of Oxford; Transparency International; Brazil’s Escola Nacional de Administração Pública (ENAP); the Ministry of the Interior and Safety for the Republic of Korea; Centro Latinoamericano de Administración para el Desarrollo (CLAD) and the Chandler Foundation.
