The recent publication includes some surprising lessons for civil service leaders – arguing, for example, that some anti-corruption practices can be counterproductive
Last month, the OECD published a report promoting “a coherent and multidimensional approach to public governance” – including some interesting and counter-intuitive findings on how best to promote effective government.
The report,
Policy Framework on Sound Public Governance: Baseline Features of Governments that Work Well, sets out to provide “governments at all levels with an integrated diagnostic, guidance and benchmarking tool that aims to improve the quality of public governance”. The issues covered are particularly important as governments strive to manage the COVID-19 crisis and plan for a “sustainable and inclusive” recovery, it adds.
