PARTNERSHIPS

As a pan-Commonwealth association, CAPAM works closely with member organisations and affiliates to deliver relevant programmes and services. 

Expert Networks

                                                   CAPAM Public Service Training Institutes Network

The CAPAM PSTI Network was established following the 2007 Leadership, Learning, Institutes and Public Service conference in Accra, Ghana.  The network seeks to maximize the sharing of good practices and lessons learned in the delivery of training programmes to public servants.  The network promotes the interchange of experts, programme design models and key strategic practices in developing leadership and effective management in the public service.

Affiliate Networks

CAPAM currently has 23 affiliation agreements with membership-based organisations across the Commonwealth. This is a special category of membership reserved for national or regional associations. Affiliated membership in this category is open to the entire membership (as a group), provided that the association has interests and activities which are broadly similar to, or supportive of, the interests and concerns of CAPAM and its members.

The basis of such affiliated membership, membership fees, and other matters relevant to such category of membership will vary on a case by case basis, as set out in an Affiliation Agreement to be approved by the Board of Directors. Affiliated associations do not have voting privileges. Individual members of such associations are free to apply for individual membership in CAPAM.
