OECD Global Forum on Public Governance

Improving public governance and public sector modernisation is now well recognised as a pre-condition to development, economic growth and job creation. Poor public service delivery, corruption, inadequate regulatory systems and inefficient and overstafffed civil services have to be addressed for countries to benefit from globalisation.

A Global Forum on Public Governance provides an opportunity for innovatiove policy dialogue with non-members through a series of events on public governance and public sector modernisation.

Forum Objectives

Identify and address the strategic challenges faced in modernising public governance, particularly when aiming to strengthen trust in public institutions and their capacity to adapt to new challenges.
Generate dialogue and enhanced learning in order to achieve more coherent and effective policies, and to raise the integrity, quality and performance of public institutions and services.
Discuss and promote key elements of a good governance framework, thereby contributing to the effectiveness, efficiency, transparency, responsiveness and accountability of public institutions.

Forum Topics

Modernising the management of public government as well as encouraging open government and e-government, regulatory reform and public sector integrity (in particular transparent public procurement and anti-corruption policies) are key issues on the governance reform agenda.

Participants

Participants include high-level government officials, policy makers, leaders of stock exchanges, trade unions, professional bodies of accountants and auditors, investor associations, employee organisations, academics, representatives from regional/international organisations and selected invitees from civil society organisations.
