Glossary:Diversity
From CAF Network
Diversity relates to differences. It may refer to values, attitudes, culture, philosophy or religious convictions, knowledge, skills, experience and lifestyle between groups, or individuals within a group. It may also be on the basis of gender, national or ethnic origin, disability or age. In public administration a diverse organisation would be considered to be one which reflects the society and different needs of the customers and stakeholders it serves.
A public service organisation is any institution, service organisation or system, which is under the policy direction of and controlled by an elected government (national, federal, regional or local). It includes organisations that deal with development of policy and enforcement of law, i.e. matters that could not be regarded strictly as services.
