The Global Public Leaders series is an online forum to promote discussion about how governments are dealing with complex challenges and reshaping public services across the world.
The core theme of the series is how public leaders tackle long term societal problems within the short-term framework of most political cycles.
The series began in 2012 in Singapore, where Peter Ong, the head of the Singapore civil service, talked about the digital transformation of public services in Singapore.
Every year since then, we have featured three high-level interviews or talks on our central theme by global public leaders, including former deputy managing director of the International Monetary Fund, Nemat Shafik, talking about energy subsidies and Malaysian minister Abdul Wahid Omar on how to ensure his country’s economic gains are felt by all its people.
We also have regular updates on relevant issues around the world, including an interview with Rwanda’s deputy prisons commissioner, Mary Gahonzire, about the post-genocide legacy and a look at the OECD’s report on bribery.
This series is supported by our partner EY. All content is commissioned and controlled by the Guardian.
