The Development Academy of the Philippines (DAP), through its Center of Excellence on Public Sector Productivity (COE-PSP), is launching a transformative five-month training course on the Public Service Value Chain (PSVC). The program begins with an intensive five-day Upskilling Workshop at the DAP Building in Pasig City from July 28 to August 1, 2025.
The course brings together 37 participants from a diverse mix of local government units, state universities and colleges, and national government agencies. These include the Department of Budget and Management (DBM), Department of Agrarian Reform (DAR) Region VIII, Department of Health (DOH), Department of Economy, Planning and Development – Cordillera Administrative Region (DEPDev-CAR), as well as the local governments of Cagayan de Oro, Minalabac, Camarines Sur, and Ormoc City, Leyte, and academic institutions such as Southern Leyte State University and Iloilo Science and Technology University. Participants include managers, supervisors, technical experts, and support staff—each contributing to a dynamic and collaborative learning environment.
Designed with innovation and impact in mind, the training follows a four-phase structure: Upskilling Workshop, Pitching Sessions, Pilot Implementation Phase, and Knowledge Exchange and Sharing Session (KESS).
This structured progression equips participants to critically assess and refine their agencies’ service delivery processes, identify inefficiencies, and develop strategic interventions. The program emphasizes both theoretical grounding and practical application, highlighting PSVC’s relevance in contemporary governance—including its potential integration with Artificial Intelligence (AI) to enhance public service outcomes.
Ultimately, this initiative aims to cultivate a more responsive, efficient, and citizen-focused government. By embedding the PSVC framework within participating agencies, the program aspires to drive sustainable improvements in public sector performance. Its success will be gauged not just by immediate gains, but by its long-term contribution to a more effective and people-centered Philippine public service.
