CPED
The Center for Policy and Executive Development (CPED), formerly the Center for Policy and Administrative Development (CPAD), provides research, training, and extension or consultancy services to national government agencies, public enterprises, other local institutions and international organizations. It was created through the merging of the personnel, financial and material resources of the then College of Public Administration's Policy Studies Program, Administrative Development Center, and the research component of the Research and Publications Program. Approved by the UP Board of Regents on July 31, 1986, CPAD was the CPA's response to the challenges posed by national events and developments in the areas of public policy, executive development, development administration and program/project management.
