Global Forum on Governance: Modernising Government: strategies & tools for change. Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. 22-23 October 2007

The Global Forum on Governance is an opportunity for participating countries to share their reform experiences in public sector modernisation and policies aimed at increasing public sector efficiency.  It will focus on key priority areas selected for their importance in achieving overall system change, as well as explore the political economy behind reform implementation.

The Forum is a key event for bringing together high-level participants, as well as academic experts and expert practitioners to fully explore the political economy of implementing reform. It also offers the chance to gain a deeper understanding of how reform can be approached and how different institutional, economic and cultural settings impact the successful design and implementation of public sector reform.
