2019 KIPA-KOICA-UN DESA International Forum
June 11, 2019
In collaboration with the Korea Institute of Public Administration (KIPA) and the Korea International Cooperation Agency (KOICA), DPIDG/UNPOG co-organized an International Forum on “Public Governance and International Development Cooperation for Realizing the SDGs” on 10 June 2019 in Seoul, Republic of Korea. The International Forum was attended by more than 100 participants from government agencies, academia, civil society organizations, private sector and international organizations. This is the first such collaboration among three agencies to discuss working together for better public administration capacity support to developing countries. Colleagues from several other international organizations such as the World Bank, UNESCAP and OECD Korea Policy Center also participated in the Forum.
Each institution/office organized one session and UNPOG/DPIDG/UNDESA organized the Session on Inter-Agency Coordination for Integration & Coherence of International Development Policies.
The discussions from the Forum generated many insightful views and suggestions on enhancing international development cooperation, in particular, i) better alignment with national strategies and priorities and respecting policy space and leadership of countries; ii) integration across government agencies and between central and local governments; iii) ensuring measurable and sustainable impact; iv) operations and maintenance are more important for such projects as e-government, education and health; and v) civil service capacity building is critical.
