The International Association of Schools and Institutes of Administration (IASIA) is an entity of the International Institute of Administrative Sciences (IIAS) but has its own governance: Board of Management and General Assembly and its own network (members). It shares with IIAS the Secretariat.

The IASIA/IIAS will influence the global governance agenda through high impact events targeting and involving both public service and academe; production and dissemination of relevant knowledge on public governance; enabling collaborative and strategic projects with members and partners; and accrediting both academic and professional training programs in line with standards of best practices in public management.
