The Development Academy of the Philippines, through its Productivity and  Development Center (DAP-PDC), announces its call for entries for the Government  Best Practice Recognition (GBPR). Public sector organizations who want to  promote, showcase and share knowledge on their outstanding and innovative  practices can submit their entries until 15 July 2021. A maximum of three (3)  entries per agency is allowed. 

In 2015, the GBPR was launched to serve as a harmonizing strategy to attain  the objective “to advance the public sector productivity movement” among Asian  Productivity Organization (APO) member countries. Now, 6 years later, this  prestigious recognition program still continues to celebrate outstanding innovations 

that have been proven effective and helpful in improving productivity and  performance in the public sector. Last year, GBPR started the search for the GBPR  COVID-19 response best practice. GBR opened the submission of entries on best  practices in response to COVID-19 pandemic. 

Over the course of its implementation, the GBPR has been judged by well respected experts from the government. The same set of criteria, based on the  criteria used by the International Best Practice Competition (IBPC) and the Philippine  Quality Awards (PQA), is used in the initial screening and the presentation.  

All GBPR finalists are endorsed to the prestigious International Best Practice  Competition (IBPC). A Certificate of Participation will be issued to each participating  organization. A Plaque of Recognition is given to GBPR 2020 Recognized Best  Practice. 

Does your organization want to be recognized as a model agency for  continuous improvement and commitment to public service excellence to the  Filipinos? Then, submit entries to the GBPR and be the face of the new and  improved version of public service!
