History
PILAG HISTORY
The Pacific Institute of Leadership and Governance is PNG’s oldest Public Service training institution. Established in 1963 as the Administrative College (ADCOL), the institution has gone from strength to strength, thus withstood its share of challenges, in the training of Public Servants and employees of public Authorities in Papua New Guinea, over the years. Prior to the birth of the Administrative College, the administrative training of national public servants in Papua New Guinea began about 1954, when the Public Service Institute was founded to provide In-service training for officers. Arrangements were made by the University of Queensland for the provision of external studies; however, mostly expatriates took advantage of this.
In 1959, the colonial administration reviewed the adequacy of training arrangements then in effect and decided to establish an inquiry into possible avenues for further training of national officers for the upper levels of the Public Service. As a result of the inquiry, the Willoughby Report of 1961 was drafted, which recommended the establishment of a special residential institute for the advanced training of officers involved in finance and related fields, practical training in clerical and administrative methods, community development and library work. By 1962-1963, and interim Council was established to plan the development of the Administrative College. In August 1963 the Administrative College (ADCOL) was founded and courses commenced.
