JIPAD’s Mission

The mission of JIPAD is to advance scientific research, development, and evaluation to enhance the administration of sustainable development goals and policies around the world. It also advances the preparation scholars and individuals for public management careers as well as enabling current and future public leaders to develop skills necessary to address challenges posed in public management, administration in nongovernmental organizations (NGOs), governance, policymaking, implementation, and organizational effectiveness. By developing the knowledge, skills and attitudes needed for principled management of public and nonprofit related organizations, JIPAD provides the foundation for our practitioners to practice life-long learning and to become the future leaders and administrators in government and NGOs-related organizations in our local, state, regional, national, and global communities. In JIPAD, we value rigorous academic research, engaged teaching and learning, professionalism and leadership.
