The Institute of Public Administration (IPA) is Bulgaria’s main government institution dedicated to the training and professional development of civil servants. It also serves as a research and knowledge centre, helping public institutions meet today’s public policy challenges. Its key initiatives include the Employee Engagement Barometer, the Learning Organisations assessment and ranking, and the Balkans’ first AI Readiness Index for Public Administration. IPA brings this work into practice through its training programmes, learning resources and professional networks, supporting the exchange of knowledge and experience across public administration.
