Winners of Futuregov Awards 2011

Winners of Futuregov Awards 2011

The FutureGov Awards is an annual awards process that celebrates best practice in Asia’s public sector. It is the international benchmark by which public sector innovation is judged - uniquely celebrating agency and project success, as well as the most successful city modernization programmes in the region.

This is the fifth year of the awards, and a total of 498 nominations have been received from public sector organisations in 16 countries.

The FutureGov Awards event is organised by FutureGov Asia Pacific magazine, an independent trade journal focusing on public sector modernisation. The print magazine has been published since 2004 and has more than 25,000 public sector subscribers for our various editions in the region.

The FutureGov Awards is judged by a panel of Senior Civil Servants, and chaired by the Editor-at-Large of FutureGov Asia Pacific magazine, who is himself a former senior government official.

The FutureGov Awards Gala Dinner held at Cyberjaya in Malaysia was attended by an audience of 250 public sector officials from around the region, as well as senior industry executives, all of whom witnessed and celebrated administrative excellence across Asia Pacific’s public sector agencies.
