Announcing FutureGov Awards 2011 shortlist

By Jianggan Li | 28 September 2011 | Permanent link | 1 comment

The editorial team at FutureGov are in a very privileged position to be able to watch the development of the region’s public sector from the vantage point of the magazine - but nothing gives us more insight in to the real world developments occurring within government, education and healthcare organisations than the annual review of nominations for the FutureGov Awards.

Since its inception in 2007, FutureGov Awards have attracted 2480 nominations from more than 20 countries across Asia Pacific. The evolution of FutureGov awards reflects the public sector’s modernisation in the region in the same period. Civil servants are moving beyond building platforms and connecting dots, to delivering real value to citizens, businesses and their colleagues. This is what the awards are intended to recognise.

It was a very rewarding, yet rather difficult, process to shortlist from the many deserving projects from different parts of the region; and I am pretty sure it will be equally hard, if not harder, to select the winners from this list: each year it is a common refrain among the judging committee that separating winners from runners up has become more difficult. The quality of the nominations, already impressive over the past few years, continues to improve. We also see many good and commendable projects coming from some of the emerging countries. That is certainly very encouraging.

The winners will be announced at the FutureGov Awards Gala Dinner, held on the 14th of October in Putrajaya, Malaysia, in conjunction with the annual FutureGov Summit.

Without boring you too much with my monologue, here is the shortlist, arranged by category – let’s wish them all the best!
