All of Government public relations officer’s first networking event a success

The Department of Personnel Management (DPM) media team was among participants from other government agencies who attended the recent  inaugural Public Relations Officers (PROs) Networking Event hosted by Department of Information and Communications Technology (DICT) , emphasizing  the department’s commitment to strengthening government communications and transparency.

The networking event brought together PROs from various government departments and agencies, aiming to foster collaboration and improve inter-agency communication among media personnel and media organisations.

With the rise of technology and the rapid spread of information online, addressing misinformation across all levels of the public service has become increasingly vital.

The event served as a timely platform to equip PROs with the tools, networks, and shared understanding needed to counter misinformation and uphold the integrity of public communication.

The event is a strategic initiative to enhance coordination across the public sector’s communication arms.

The Department of the Prime Minister and National Executive Council, the National Fisheries Authority (NFA), the National Information and Communications Technology Authority (NICTA), and the Department of Works and Highways also co-sponsored the event—demonstrating a united front in strengthening government outreach.

The participation of DPM’s media team highlighted the department’s proactive stance in aligning with whole-of-government communication strategies and ensuring that accurate, timely, and consistent information is disseminated to the public.
