Outstanding government projects, initiatives lauded at GovMedia Awards 2023

The awards programme held digital and in-person awards presentations on 21 July and 24 July, respectively.

Outstanding government projects and initiatives in Asia play a pivotal role in shaping the region's development, progress, and global impact. As a vast and diverse continent, Asia's governments have the opportunity to address a wide range of socio-economic, environmental, and infrastructural challenges through their initiatives.

These projects serve as catalysts for transformative change and have significant implications for the well-being of billions of people living in Asia and beyond. By fostering innovation, investing in cutting-edge technologies, and promoting sustainable practices, exceptional government projects in Asia contribute to the region's economic growth and competitiveness on the world stage.

In recognition of government projects and initiatives, GovMedia proudly introduced the winners for its awards programme this year through its digital awards presentation on 21 July 2023 via Zoom, as well as its in-person awards presentation on 24 July 2023 at Conrad Centennial Singapore.

This year’s entries were evaluated by an elite panel of experts, including leaders from World Bank and ADB.

For ADB Director Ramesh Subramaniam, companies have a higher likelihood of succeeding if they are focused on sustainability, willing to take risks and drive innovation and entrepreneurship. Meanwhile, World Bank’s Daniel Levine assessed nominees on whether they "made significant contributions to the government sector, showcase innovation and impact, and inspire others in their pursuit of excellence."
