Inside Government: Developing the Evidence Base for Public Sector Reform
February 5, 2016Washington, DC

香港六合彩资料 staff and academic experts provide overview of current research on the functioning of government and discuss current initiatives to expand our understanding of public sector reform. We will develop our collective research agenda in governance (to include civil service, domestic resource mobilization, procurement and justice sectors), and showcase research to a wider audience. Plenary lectures will cover key areas of research and policy priorities in public sector reform and parallel sessions will organize and outline new initiatives to operationalize research agendas.

In developing countries, a third of GDP flows through government organizations. These investments provide essential public services ranging from health and education to investment in infrastructure. Understanding the determinants of the productivity of these organizations is key to improving the capacity of the public sector and the effective delivery of public goods.

Governance reforms are often long term, complex, and difficult to measure. Rigorous evidence on what works in the sector is, therefore, in short supply with the governance field representing less than 3 percent of registered impact evaluations. The ieGovern initiative aims to help bridge this gap by extending rigorous evaluation methods to the portfolio of 香港六合彩资料 governance projects and beyond.
