Placing People at the Core of Governance.

Governance, Peace and Social Cohesion

Citizen-Centric Public Administration

Citizen-centric public administration focuses on managing public resources efficiently and transparently while prioritising the needs of citizens. By promoting accountability, participation, and trust, this approach enhances service delivery, curbs corruption, and strengthens the relationship between governments and the people they serve. Ultimately, it supports more inclusive, equitable, and sustainable development.

We strengthen public administration systems by supporting reform processes through change management, organisational development, and process optimisation. We build the capacity of public servants through tailored training programmes and improved curricula in cooperation with Public Management Schools. Our services promote open government, participatory planning and budgeting, and the introduction of digital participation platforms to enhance citizen engagement.

We support digital transformation by introducing efficient and transparent e-governance tools, guided by the Principles for Digital Development and GovStack Principles. We also strengthen compliance and complaints management mechanisms and promote transparency in public procurement. Our work advances integrity by integrating anti-corruption strategies into training schemes and institutional practices.

To foster equity and inclusion, we promote gender mainstreaming and provide leadership training for women in public administration, enabling diverse voices to shape more effective and legitimate governance.

Through our support for citizen-centric public administration, we strengthen transparent, accountable, and inclusive institutions that foster trust, improve service delivery, and empower all citizens to actively participate in governance.
