First of all, we would like to congratulate the winners of all 17 categories of FutureGov Awards 2011! Each trophy represents the vision, the hard work and the commitment for better efficiency and improved service delivery within the public sector.
The geographic spread of winners came as a (pleasant) surprise – the judges did not expect that so many countries would be recognised while drawing the shortlist and doing the final round of judging.
This year, Australia, China, Hong Kong, Singapore, Taiwan each bagged two awards home. Among the winners are also agencies from Bahrain, India, Korea, New Zealand, Sri Lanka, Thailand and Vietnam.
That said, we should celebrate not only the Award winners, but the shortlisted agencies, and many others who have dedicated hard work towards public sector modernisation. We can’t make everyone a winner of FutureGov awards, but we are committed to continuously celebrate the successes in Asia’s public sector.
Without boring you too much with my monologue, here is the list of winners:
