Professor Prajapati Trivedi, a senior director in the Commonwealth Secretariat in London, has been awarded the prestigious Harry Hatry Distinguished Performance Management Practice Award for 2019 for his contribution in public administration.
The Center for Accountability and Performance (CAP), American Society for Public Administration (ASPA), awarded Trivedi on Sunday at a ceremony in Washington.
This award is presented each year to an individual whose outstanding teaching, education, training, and consultation in performance management has made a significant contribution to the practice of public administration, a statement said.
Trivedi, who is the first Indian to win this coveted award, said: "Of all the awards and recognitions that I have been fortunate to have received thus far, I value this award the most. It specifically recognises the area of practice that is closest to my heart and to which I have dedicated a large part of my professional life."
