Written Statement by the International Institute of Administrative Sciences, Submitted to the 15th session of the United Nations Committee of Experts in Public Administration

摘要

The Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) constitutes the global development agenda to be achieved by 2030.Public Administration features more prominently in the SDGs than in the Millennium Development Goals (MDG). First, having a proper public administration system is now a stand-alone development objective. Second, public governance systems are now explicitly mandated to contribute to the realization of SDGs through policy instruments. Finally, the remaining SDGs are embedded and framed in public governance, and their realization will strongly depend on it. The formulation of the SDGs may refer to different levels of commitment, but still: public administration is everywhere in the SDGs. The first section elaborates on these three roles of public administration in the 2030 agenda.This prominence of public administration in the SDGs is a positive development. As professional community, it now has the duty to take over these important responsibilities. In the second section, IIAS contributes to the SDG agenda by focusing on the performance management system for the SDGs.
