UNPAN receives hundreds of submissions every year for the prestigious UN Public Service Awards. For the benefit of policy makers at the national, regional and international levels; the academic community, NGOs; the private sector; as well as nominees, we have made available a number of past UN Public Service Awards initiatives that had been pre-selected for the final round of evaluation by the Committee of Experts on Public Administration. These cases have not been edited and they do not imply any expression of opinion on the part of the United Nations.
