The United
Nations Public Service Day celebrated worldwide on June 23rd
every year, is in the list of UN Observance Days.
This is not a remembrance event as
this day is not spent to remember an event/thought but to celebrate the
contributions of Public Servants worldwide.
Observances are remembrance,
awareness, and celebration days or events that don't typically involve a day
off work, allowing people to maintain their routines while focusing on a
specific theme or idea.
Unlike public holidays,
observances like Halloween and Valentine’s Day in the US significantly impact
business demand across industries.
Imagine the global impact of
these events, each with regional observances you might not be aware of.
Yes, there are many regional
observances and remembrance days which have an economic impact on the local economy.
Consider the potential influence
of ** World
Safe ePay Day ** on a global scale.
As financial transactions
increasingly move from the physical to the digital realm, this observance could
raise awareness about the importance of secure online payment practices.
**Why mark International Days?**
International days and weeks educate the public on critical issues, mobilize political will and
resources to address global problems and celebrate and reinforce human
achievements.
The United Nations, recognizing
the power of these observances as advocacy tools, has embraced them to address
and highlight various global concerns.
By promoting ** World Safe
ePay Day **, we can emphasize the necessity of secure financial
transactions in our digital age, ensuring the safety and security of global
financial interactions.
Designating
a day as World
Safe ePay Day has multiple benefits.
The top 4
benefits of World
Safe ePay Day can be summarised as follows:
Benefit 01) Promotion of
Cybersecurity Awareness
Benefit 02) Enhancement of Customer Confidence
Benefit 03) Support for Economic
Growth and Financial Inclusion
Benefit 04) Strengthening Global
Cooperation.
Our
country is the leader in Digital Transactions and flag of World Safe ePay Day can be first
unveiled in our country.
As the
idea grows, we can popularise it across the world.
United Nations
Public Service Day, designated on 23 June by the General Assembly's
resolution A/RES/57/277, celebrates the value and virtue of public service to
the community.
It highlights the contributions
of public service to the development process, recognizes the work of public
servants, and encourages young people to pursue careers in the public sector.
Economies flourish when young
people enter the public sector. The young blood can motivate the local
population to be aware of their rights and the way to leverage their strength.
Since its inception in 2003, the UN Public Service Awards have become the
most prestigious international recognition of excellence in public service,
rewarding the creative achievements of public service institutions that enhance
effective and responsive public administration globally.
The United Nations Public Service
Forum, organized annually by UN DESA, is a global event focusing on public governance capacity development.
It explores emerging challenges,
innovative practices, and capacity development strategies to support
sustainable development.
The Forum brings together world
leaders, policymakers, practitioners, and innovators in governance, alongside
representatives from international organizations, academia, non-profits, and
the private sector.
The 2024 UN Public Service Forum
and Awards Ceremony will take place in Incheon, Republic of Korea from 24 to 26
June 2024, under the theme ‘Fostering Innovation amid Global Challenges: a
Public Sector Perspective’.
The Forum is co-organized by the
United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs (UN DESA) through its
Division for Public Institutions and Digital Government (DPIDG) and the
Ministry of the Interior and Safety of the Republic of Korea (MOIS).
The Forum will provide a platform
for Ministers, senior level decision-makers, and working level public servants
to reflect upon and develop the skills needed to devise tangible actions to
foster innovation and transformation at the local and national levels.
The Forum will also provide the
opportunity to highlight innovative public sector initiatives through its 2024 United Nations Public Service Awards Ceremony.
The highlight will be the
takeaways from the Award night for the public servants gathered worldwide.
** World Safe ePay Day Concept**
In conjunction with United Nations Public Service Day, the concept
of ** World
Safe ePay Day ** is being pitched to raise awareness about secure
online payment practices.
This proposed observance aims to
emphasize the importance of secure financial transactions in our increasingly
digital world, drawing parallels to the critical role of public service. By
promoting safe e-payment methods, World Safe ePay Day would seek to protect
individuals and communities from cyber threats, ensuring that the convenience
of online transactions does not compromise security.
Recognizing both days highlights
essential resources for societal wellbeing and advancement.

Disclaimer: These are my thoughts only; the bottom
line is spreading the Joy of Safe ePayments via World Safe ePay Day.
World Safe ePay Day is an observance day, not a
remembrance event.
