From its creation in 1998, the then-College of Public Affairs has made its mark in the field of development and governance studies, as well as policy advocacy. Through the years it was able to produce competent local and foreign graduates excelling in these fields. In addition, CPAf has contributed a plethora of research and extension work in the fields of governance, public entrepreneurship, agriculture, natural resources, food security and communities in transition.

Under a new name and a strong, dynamic “one-faculty-one-college structure” that helps strengthen and sustain its established innovations, the College of Public Affairs and Development now aims to give you the best of development and governance studies.
