The Development Academy of the Philippines (DAP) is a government-owned and controlled corporation in the Philippines. It was established on 23 June 1973 through Presidential Decree No. 205, issued by President Ferdinand Marcos. The institution is attached to the National Economic and Development Authority (NEDA) and provides training, policy research, and consultancy services for public- and private-sector managers. The academy's stated mandate is to support socio-economic development and governance initiatives in the Philippines. [1]
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. Its mission addresses the human resource needs that are critical for economic and social development. [2]
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. [3] [4] [5]
In February 2024, Majah-Leah V. Ravago was appointed as DAP's president. Ravago, an economist with prior experience as an associate professor at the Ateneo Center for Economic Research and Development, brought her expertise in economics and policy research to the institution. [6]
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. [7]
