About
Academy of Public Administration and Governance (APAG, Vietnamese: Học viện Hành chính và Quản trị công), formerly National Academy of Public Administration (NAPA), is a special-class public service unit within Vietnam's national education system, operating under the Ho Chi Minh National Academy of Politics. As a key national academy, it serves as Vietnam's central institution for training and fostering officials, civil servants, and state managers in public administration, leadership, and management. NAPA also conducts research and provides policy consultation for the Ministry of Home Affairs and the Government of Vietnam. On September 15, 2022, the Vietnamese government issued Decree No. 63/2022/ND-CP to merge Hanoi University of Home Affairs into NAPA. This merger, formalized by Decision No. 27/2022/QD-TTg on December 19, 2022, took effect on January 1, 2023.
