At a time of complex and rapid change and given the need for greater accountability, integration and mobility across the public service, our innovative learning approaches enable public servants to build the knowledge and capabilities necessary to lead, manage and immediately apply new insights to their issues and challenges. Our programmes and interventions are grounded in the experience of our full-time professional staff, all of whom have many years of teaching, training and consulting combined with a deep understanding of the challenges and constraints facing the public sector. The unique combination of public management research, delivery capacity and practical approaches to the toughest issues ensures that the IPA remains unique in its ability to support the ongoing public service reform process.

the IPA started to develop a series of international relationships making significant contribution to the strengthening of public administrations in developing African economies, notably in Zambia and Tanzania. While these links have been maintained right up to the present, our contribution to public administration internationally has developed over time and our portfolio of international projects has grown significantly. In the early 1990s, the Institute put a sharp focus on assisting Eastern and Central European countries in transforming their public apparatus as part of the EU accession process and has provided numerous capacity building and technical assistance projects for public administration, civil service and sister institutions generally.
Nowadays, the Institute enjoys an excellent reputation for providing technical know how and support to public sector development and reform, thanks to the high quality of our services and the experience of the Irish public service. Many countries in transition and a growing number of emerging economies worldwide have been interested in exploring the experience of Ireland, its successful model of public administration reform and the economic development agenda it followed since the late 1980s. The Institute has been much in demand to act as a conduit to this unique expertise and experience.
The Institute is the professional body for public servants. It caters for those in the civil service, the local authorities, the health service, the state-sponsored bodies, the education sector, the gardaí and the defence forces. Its services are designed to meet the professional needs of public servants at individual and corporate levels.
