| Summary: | The Government of Japan began
introducing evaluation techniques in 2001 within the context
of a Central Government reform program that involved the
establishment of new ministries and the integration and
abolition of existing ministries. Japans approach emphasizes
assessing policies and activities, and then incorporating
results into future planning and budgeting, with a focus on
making public sector programs and activities more efficient.
This is a synopsis of Japans experience with public sector
performance assessment processes between 2001 and 2010. This
note presents a range of initiatives underway in Japan,
including policy and activity evaluation, as well as the
spending review exercise designed to make public sector
service delivery more efficient. The intention of this note
is not to necessarily endorse Japans approach, but rather to
document it as a case study. |
