Governance

Strengthening and improving government performance by providing technical advice, strategic guidance, and support to public institutions, elected bodies, and citizens.

Public Administration, Civil Service Reform, and Human Resources Management

While well-governed institutions and a fair and just legal environment are the prerequisites for development, people are the drivers of development. We work with national and local governments to assist them in establishing the incentives and structures necessary for effective public administration and equitable civil service reform.
