COMMONWEALTH ASSOCIATION FOR PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION AND MANAGEMENT 1

ABOUT CAPAM

CAPAM was established in 1994 to encourage the exchange of knowledge pertaining to public administration and good governance between Commonwealth countries. The organisation grew from the commitment of its members who are most often senior public servants, elected officials or academics with a vested interest in promoting the fundamental values outlined in the Commonwealth Heads of Government meeting in Harare, Zimbabwe in 1991.

CAPAM is a centre of excellence that promotes active exchange of ideas related to innovation in the public service, encourages citizen-centred service delivery and leadership development for its membership. Through its journal, the

Commonwealth Innovations Review, as well as through access to other world class journals, CAPAM constantly endeavours to provide its membership with the latest cutting-edge research in public administration. CAPAM’s biennial conferences are attended by large numbers of public servants from around the world and there is a great demand for its custom learning programs and country specific learning activities.

The organisation is based in Ottawa, Canada, and is steered by a board of directors, who are senior public servants from around the world. Our leadership firmly believes in the role of a strong professional network eager to promote good governance.

CAPAM 2012-2013 Report2

MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENTAs we convene to hold CAPAM’s General Members Meeting and review our 2012-2013 activities and financial position, we will be embarking on a new phase in CAPAM development after the first 20 years working with our public service members from across the Commonwealth. As President over the past four years, I am proud of CAPAM’s achievements, but even more, I am especially struck by the people who cross paths in this organisation. CAPAM has been blessed to have many of our members’ most senior statesmen, public servants, academics and consultants rally to our mission to share a richness of career experience and expertise.

Like the public service everywhere, the past two years have been marked by change for CAPAM. We have experienced new leadership at the staff level with the arrival of Gay Hamilton as Chief Executive Officer, and the legislation governing our charter has changed, prompting an in-depth review of our bylaws and governance structure. We have not, however, allowed ourselves to be distracted by these

internal shifts and have carried on with learning programmes and regional conferences as well as networking and building relationships.

This General Members Meeting is taking place amid the organisation of our 10th Biennial Conference and our 20th anniversary. We are very pleased to be hosted by the Government of Malaysia, which has been a long-standing supporter of CAPAM from its founding days, in serving a term as President, to hosting the 1998 Biennial Conference. It is therefore quite fitting to be in Malaysia at this important time in CAPAM’s history. True to form, Malaysia has collaborated with CAPAM’s team to put on a very special programme along with social events that ensure that all our guests will ‘experience Malaysia’.

Also on the agenda is the Fifth Commonwealth Public Service Ministers Forum organized by another very important CAPAM partner, the Commonwealth Secretariat. The Secretariat has worked with us over the years and has been present at all our Biennial Conferences.

Welcome to CAPAM’s General Members Meeting, take full advantage of the networking opportunity, and most of all enjoy Malaysia!

MESSAGE FROM THE CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICERRounding out my second year with CAPAM, I am pleased to present the membership with our 2012-2013 report on the activities and financial position of CAPAM. I never cease to be amazed at what the organization does, how much it does and where it winds up doing it. At this meeting of members, we are launching the 20th anniversary commemorative book titled, CAPAM, Commemorating 20 Years of Learning and Exchange. This volume of photos and memories of past events and activities required arduous searches through records and photos, much editing and fact verification, which brought together a colourful and impressive history. It serves as a history lesson for both staff and board members old and new and, of course, is the springboard for the next decade or more of CAPAM activities.

This report sets out the various events that CAPAM undertook around the Commonwealth and highlights some of the results achieved. Financial statements are not the most scintillating documents but I am

very pleased to present a report that shows an improvement in our position. Furthermore, CAPAM gratefully acknoledges the support provided by the Canada School of Public Service associated with our renewed memorandum of understanding for donated office facilities.

We are also delighted to be working with the Government of Malaysia and the Commonwealth Secretariat. At the very end of 2013 we began collaborating with these entities, resulting in the 10th Biennial Conference scheduled to begin immediately after this General Members Meeting. Our combined efforts have resulted in an array of speakers and facilitators who will present some of the latest thinking on citizen engagement, motivation of public servants and capacity building for the next generation of public servants. The programme appeals to CAPAM’s notion of innovation in practice and sustainability within the global context as objectives of public service transformation.

Finally, my sincere thanks go to our President, Paul Zahra and all the Directors on the Board who have helped me understand the organization in its many and diverse facets, to our partners and colleagues who continue to support CAPAM and very importantly, our team at HQ who work tirelessly to make each and every project a success.

Wishing you a very successful General Members Meeting.
