ASPAP joins Center for Asian Integrity

In its continuing mission to link with other organizations involved in advocating good governance, ASPAP joined hands with the Center for Asian Integrity (CAI), becoming the consortium’s newest member.

On January 20, 2010, ASPAP president Dr. Grace Gorospe-Jamon met with the Ombudsman to sign a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) formalizing the membership of ASPAP into the CAI. The Center for Asian Integrity is a regional group involved in providing education, training, and research supporting the advocacy of integrity, accountability and institutional development in government. ASPAP, as an association of over 120 schools of public administration and governance in the Philippines, was a welcome addition to the CAI partners. Other partners include the Office of the Ombudsman, the National College of Public Administration and Governance (NCPAG), the Development Academy of the Philippines (DAP) and the Institute for Ethics Governance and Law in Griffith University (IEGL).

In sharing common goals, ASPAP will be working with other partners in the CAI to promote integrity and accountability in both public administration education and in its own network of LGU and CSO partners.
