About Us:

As a developmental state and a new democracy, South Africa requires a public service that is professional, accountable, efficient and effective. Transforming, improving and sustaining this sector requires appropriate capacity building on a large scale.
PALAMA, the Public Administration Leadership and Management Academy has been mandated as the ‘training arm' of government to professionalise, build capacity and support career advancement in the Public Service. PALAMA was officially launched in August 2008

Through PALAMA, the government is in a position to meet the challenge of rapidly creating a professional, competent public sector with the will and the skills to manage service delivery effectively.
