Public administration reform

The ability of governments to achieve their economic and social aims with limited resources is dependent upon the efficiency and focus of government. Public administration institutions in emerging countries are the cornerstone of reform, and if those institutions are not professional, efficient, flexible and transparent, then reform and development efforts will not succeed.
