CAPAM International Innovations Awards
Awards Overview
Progress of any kind begins with innovators who challenge the status quo and continuously seek to change reality for the better. These creative thinkers have the vision to grasp new ideas and the drive to adapt them to long standing public service challenges. Establishing change, especially in large organizations like the public service, requires tact to overcome the inertia of complacency, tenacity to learn from inevitable setbacks, and commitment to sustain the task of bringing new concepts into reality.
The CAPAM International Innovations Awards celebrates the spirit of innovation in the public service by recognizing those who have made significant contributions to improving governance and services in the public sector. In so doing, the award hopes to inspire and encourage innovators to improve public service governance, and the quality of life of citizens, communities and nations.
The CAPAM International Innovations AWARDS are adjudicated by an international panel of esteemed public service professionals typically representing at least 10 different Commonwealth countries. Since the awards’ inception in 1998, CAPAM has recognized public service innovations and winning submissions from across the Commonwealth countries.
The CAPAM International Innovations Awards Programme invites submissions that demonstrate excellence, innovation and quality service delivery in public administration. The programme is open to CAPAM members only. Submissions are judged by an esteemed group of public sector leaders representing all the regions of the Commonwealth.
