Establishment
DAP was founded under Presidential Decree No. 205, issued by President Ferdinand Marcos, to create a coordinated, ongoing program for capacity-building in the public and private sectors. It offers ongoing programs in human resource development, research, and institutional strengthening to support national development.[6] Its mission addresses the human resource needs that are critical for economic and social development.[7]
Recent developments
In October 2023, President Bong-bong Marcos issued Executive Order No. 45, transferring DAP from the Office of the President to the National Economic and Development Authority (NEDA). This administrative shift aimed to improve the alignment and execution of economic and development policies.[8][9][10]
On 8 February 2024, economist Majah-Leah V. Ravago was elected as DAP president by the Board of Trustees; her appointment was also noted by Ateneo de Manila University.[11][12]
In 2024, DAP expanded its initiatives in capacity building and governance, including hosting the Government Quality Management Program (GQMP) Conference 2024, aiming to strengthen partnerships with the Asian Productivity Organization (APO), enhancing evaluation and monitoring practices for government agencies, and conducting international workshops on improving public sector service quality. These efforts underscore DAP's role in supporting national development and promoting excellence in public administration.[13]
