| Summary: | Countries across the globe are facing
pressures to reform their public sectors. An effective,
efficient public sector is vital to sustainable development,
economic growth, and citizens' well-being. Similarly,
assessing government performance is crucial in determining a
country's progress toward its development goals,
whether defined by the Millennium Development Goals, a
Policy Reduction Strategy Paper, a Country Assistance
Strategy, or another policy statement. It is also important
in analyzing a government's accountability to its
citizens, by providing evidence on promised government
performance. Focusing on performance can also be an
effective public sector management tool, informing resource
allocation decisions and monitoring of whether public
initiatives are achieving expected results. As a result
governments at all levels are under pressure to move beyond
tracking inputs-and toward measuring results. |
