Good Practices and Innovations in Public Governance: United Nations Public Service Awards Winners, 2003-2011

This publication is intended for policy makers, scholars and practitioners who have a keen interest in concrete solutions to governance challenges. Its purpose is to encourage more women and men in the public sector who are working hard to improve citizens’ lives, to share with the world their innovations by applying to the United Nations Public Service Awards Programme, which is held annually; to recognize the efforts of those who have already won this prestigious Awards by showcasing their successful practices; and to provide United Nations Member States interested in innovation in governance with useful information and knowledge about good practices for possible replication.
 

In light of the above, Part One gives an overview of what the UNPSA is, who is eligible and how to apply, and highlights key aspects of the selection process. Part Two of this publication provides a description and brief analysis of the successful practices of the UNPSA Winners from 2003 to 2009. Finally, Part Three presents key findings on the positive impact that the UNPSA has on further promoting and sustaining innovation in government among its winners, as well as lessons learned on what makes innovation successful.
