Pasig City Philippines — The Development Academy of the Philippines (DAP), through its Government Quality Management Program (GQMP), joins the global community in celebrating World Quality Week (WQW) 2026 from November 9 to 13, 2026.
With the theme “Quality: Powering Performance,” this year’s celebration highlights the role of quality management in strengthening organizational performance through effective systems, improved processes, and continual improvement.
Through the GQMP, the DAP continues to champion the institutionalization of Quality Management Systems (QMS) across the bureaucracy. Anchored on Executive Order No. 605, s. 2007, the program provides technical assistance, capability development, and quality advocacy to help government bodies transcend basic compliance and translate standards into tangible enhancements in public service delivery.
A cornerstone of the 2026 initiative is the Government Quality Management Assessment (GQMA), which provides agencies with a structured framework to evaluate their level of QMS implementation, pinpoint operational strengths, and prioritize reforms that elevate service standards.
Building on its national quality campaign—“Dekalidad na Serbisyo para sa Mamamayang Pilipino”—the GQMP’s roadmap for 2027 features expanded standards-based assessments, advocacy programs, and a Business-to-Government Satisfaction Survey designed to foster evidence-based continuous improvement.
Get Involved!
The GQMP encourages national government agencies, government-owned or controlled corporations, state universities and colleges, and local government units to celebrate World Quality Week through quality learning activities, QMS reviews, recognition of service improvements, and employee and stakeholder engagement.
