Public Sector Governance and Accountability |
| description |
The globalization of
information-satellite TV, internet, phone and fax-serves to
enhance citizens' awareness of their rights,
obligations, options and alternatives and strengthens
demands for greater accountability from the public sector.
However, the power of accountability is significantly
reduced if citizens are unable to measure their
government's performance in a meaningful way, which is
precisely the topic of this timely book. The abstract
concept of "government performance" can only be an
effective tool in public debate when there are concrete
statistics measuring performance and benchmarks against
which current indicators can be compared. This publication
offers a comprehensive view of government performance
measurement. The first part examines systems or frameworks
for measuring the performance of government at the national
level and at local levels of government. The second part of
the book focuses on particular sectors that form the core of
essential government services: health, education, welfare,
waste disposal, and infrastructure. This book provides
powerful tools to: a) development practitioners to evaluate
projects, b) to policymakers to reform their
government's policies, and c) to public interest groups
that wish to pressure their government for improvements in
government services. |
