The performance of national governments affects the levels of well being of society in the most fundamental way. The transparency of machinery of government, the strategic priority setting and allocation of budget resources to deliver results, the productivity and effectiveness of the civil service and the cohesiveness and accountability in the way in which public sector resources are managed are key elements of good governance and sound public management.
PDP assists governments to establish effective, efficient, transparent and accountable processes and systems that improve governance and public management. We help government clients to improve public sector performance in four related areas:
- results-focussed public financial management processes and systems
- civil service and administrative reform that increases the performance, accountability and effectiveness of the public sector at all levels of government
- accountability and governance improvement, including machinery of government, anti-corruption and financial integrity systems
- law and justice, including judicial processes and systems, safety and security, and legal and regulatory frameworks.
