Public sector Leaders, Policy Makers and Stakeholders within the Public sector across the continent are gearing up to forge new paths toward sustainable development at the 5th edition of the Africa Public Sector Conference & Awards set to hold in Botswana from 2nd October to 4th October 2024 at the Gaborone International Convention Centre (GICC).
The latest Africa Sustainable Development report calls for accelerated efforts to ensure that Africa achieves the global goals by the 2030 deadline. The attainment of sustainable development is at the heart of all stake-holders globally ranging from the civil society, communities, private sector, public sector and the development partners.
However, the role played by the public sector is by far more crucial in establishing the fabric of development variable relationships and serving as a catalyst of meaningful engagement and participation of the ‘demand’ side in shaping decisions on issues affecting them.
To effectively establish a sustainable driven development, the public sector needs to realign itself through ‘reformation strategies. It is to this end that the 5th edition of the Africa Public Sector has been themed “Promoting Innovation for Sustainable Development”.
APSCA 2024; a premier forum for civil servants, public sector leaders, policymakers, industry experts, government officials and stakeholders will explore new ideas and techniques geared towards Sustainable Development Goals in our societies, to ensure a sustainable future for upcoming generations.
More specifically, the participants will be discussing and addressing issues related to innovation in public service, environment, energy, power and digital technologies, Local governments, water management, green economy, civil service reforms, and women in public service and governance.
A selected group of private leading businesses offering innovative solutions to the public sector will also be a part of these discussions, sharing insights on their impacts and innovation the public sector ecosystem.
The last day of the thought-provoking event will lift the veil on top performing leaders, agencies, ministries, governors, mayors and civil servants and private organisations who are bringing innovation and transformation to the African citizenry during a high-profile awards night.
Recognition and accolades serve as a motivation to human nature, hence the need to lift the veil on top performing leaders who have showcased excellence in policy innovation and exceptional leadership at various levels of governance. This will raise the bench mark of excellence amongst public office holders and civil servants; Mr. Akin Naphtal, Group Publisher of the Public Sector Global Magazine disclosed this in a press statement.
“Achieving a resilient and sustainable economy will take a collective commitment by stakeholders and decision makers of African countries alongside, development partners and the private sector to massively scale up resources dedicated to building the foundations of a vibrant, inclusive and safe digital economy throughout the continent. It will need leadership and a vision to push the frontiers of innovation so that Africa can own its 21st century.” He added
APSCA 2024 has also been endorsed by the Public Service Commission Ghana.

Its unique ability to convene leaders from across the continent has facilitated discussions on pertinent issues relating to the growth and sustainability.
