Access to information and knowledge creation is one of the critical factors of good governance and socio-economic development. The UNPAN portal offers the SADC region an opportunity to share its information and knowledge with the rest of the world through a web-based portal.

What is UNPAN

The United Nations Public Administration Network (UNPAN) portal is a virtual electronic network that promotes the sharing of knowledge and exchange of innovative practices and lessons learned in public policies and management at local, national, sub-regional, regional and international level.

The ultimate objective of the UNPAN portal is to support the development of efficient and effective public administration systems and competency in the civil services, especially in developing countries. CPSI as a partner and as Southern Africa's Online Regional Centre (ORC)

The portal is managed from South Africa's Centre for Public Service Innovation (CPSI). The CPSI is a government component of the Department of Public Service and Administration. It is mandated to nurture, encourage, recognise and share innovative practices that improve service delivery. CPSI is an Online Regional Centre (ORC) for the UNPAN portal to serve the Southern Africa Development Community (SADC) region.

The CPSI's major function as an On-line Regional Centre, is to identify and collect information on public administration and finance from the SADC region(Southern Africa) and upload the content on the UNPAN portal.

Therefore the CPSI's role is to:

• Co-ordinate the finding of suitable content providers/institutions,
• Enter into content partnership agreements with possible content providers,
• Market the portal within Southern Africa.
