Over the past consecutive years, NIDA has been hosting three significant annual conferences: the National Conference (celebrated on the institute’s anniversaries), the International Conference on Advancement of Development Administration – Social Sciences and Interdisciplinary Studies (NIDA ICADA-SSIS), and the NIDA International Conference for Case Studies on Development Administration (NIDA-ICCS). These conferences aim to disseminate academic work, foster knowledge-sharing and idea exploration, and demonstrate research that contributes to the country’s development.
