Public Sector Performance Index
Enabling accountability through data
Public sector activities have two effects on a country's performance: directly, through the level and changes in productivity within the public sector and indirectly, by permitting increased productivity in the private sector. As a result, the activities of a country’s public sector have a direct impact on the socioeconomic well-being of its citizens.
We are developing the Nigerian Public Sector Performance Index, in partnership with the Nigerian Economic Summit Group, to provide accurate information about the performance of key Nigerian Ministries, Departments and Agencies with the following objectives:
→ Performance Improvement: To identify success factors for improved public sector performance and provide the government with an objective view of areas of progress and areas for performance improvement. We will also encourage the development of supportive policies and processes that will lead to improved public sector performance.
→ Citizen Engagement: To encourage informed national debate and create a platform for citizen engagement with the public sector. This will help drive citizens’ interests in seeking improved governance.
→ Partnership: To provide individuals and organisations with information that can help them offer strategic support to government institutions that will drive improvement in public service delivery.
→ Accountability: To provide stakeholders with information about public sector performance in an accessible manner to spur accountability.
→ Monitoring and Evaluation: To track changes in public sector performance over time.
