United Nations (UN) Public Service Day is observed every year on 23 June to highlight the value of public service and its contribution to development.
The day honours the work of public servants and encourages young people to consider careers in the public sector. The theme for 2026 is "Transforming Public Institutions: Advancing innovation, Participation, and Inclusion", which calls for public institutions that are more innovative, participatory and inclusive in delivering services to citizens.
