Dear Colleagues,
The United Nations has launched a call for nominations for the 2017 United Nations Public Service Awards (UNPSA) which the UN Secretary-General gives to reward innovation and excellence in public services in support of the realisation of the SDGs. The Awards is open to all public organizations -- national and local governments and public-private partnerships for delivering services. Non-Governmental Organizations are invited to nominate initiatives for the Awards.
There are three categories: 1) Reaching the poorest and most vulnerable through inclusive services and participation; 2) Promoting transparency, accountability and integrity in public service; and 3) Innovation and excellence in relation to delivering health services. The Awards will be given at the UN Public Service Forum in the Netherlands in June 2017. The front-runners will have the opportunity to participate
