The public administration's evidence-based strategies and practices have evolved, focusing largely on empirical methods and evaluation of best practices in various fields of public administration. It occupies a strategic position in the public governance system of the country (Gupta, et al., 2018) and plays a major role in governing modern-day society. The government, without the support of able public administrators, is like a vehicle without wheels (Gupta, 2017). Therefore, the role of Public Administration is important in every government and their abilities and competencies are essential to the successful implementation of its functions. With the growing challenges encountered by the Public Administration as a result of the emergence of the novel coronavirus or known as COVID-19, their competencies are being tested with an urgent shift to the digital transformation of the public service that needs to be implemented without further delay. The researcher conducted this study to examine whether the public administration has the capacity and competencies to address the imminent health threats brought by COVID-19 and to evaluate whether foresight of the competencies of the public administration is the best strategy to be more prepared, resilient, and sustainable for the next 30 years. Foresight as future literacy (Miller, 2007) is a technique that builds organizational ability to analyze, explore, and broaden information from the current to anticipate and conceptualize scenarios for "possible, probable, and desirable" future projections (Jones, 2017). This study used an empirical approach to determine whether foresight is the best possible way to equip the Public Administration to develop and strengthen its competencies to be more prepared, resilient, and sustainable in the future. It is an essential process to move the public administration from one risk adversity to analyze the threat, realize the complexity that awaits as it takes a new direction to shape the future. ; Reverse Competency Foresight (RCF) ...

AbstractThe focus of the research study is on analyses, assessment and evaluation of the digital skills and competencies of administration and defines their proficiency levels in order to offer a solution for a better development in administrative work. Every individual is meant to have a certain level of proficiency in digital skills. However, the current education system has fallen short of providing our future generations with the basic understanding of what it takes to succeed in a digital environment. The goal of this paper is to assess the digital skills and competencies of administration and define their proficiency levels. Depending on their findings, the study suggest recommendation and ways by which universities can improve on their curriculum so that students are better equipped when they enter the workforce. Digital competency is a term used to describe the skills and knowledge required to be digitally literate. Given the widespread use of digital technologies across the administration, competencies are needed to properly drive the digital change. Technologies are increasingly complex, diverse and with a fast-paced evolution that requires governments to increase efforts to keep the skill sets of public officers updated, but also to anticipate the needs associated with emerging change. This assessment in the form of strategic digital skills from an educational viewpoint is an essential measurement of the required skills of the future workforce.Key words: Digital Skills, Assessment, Public administration proficiency, digital competences
