Institutions, incentives and public sector performance:                     18 January 2008

A symposium examining the motivations driving public service performance, its measurement and issues in devising public sector incentive schemes.

 

Private sector contributions to public sector performance

This series explored the proposition that corporations exploiting natural  resources might have increasing interest in promoting host countries' governance and public sector competencies.

   

`Re-thinking approaches to government reforms' seminar series
