Public Sector Reforms Research
Driving change with evidence based advocacy.
A 2005 study of reform performance in 29 African countries categorised Nigeria as a ‘hesitant’ reform country, in contrast to the other categories of advanced reformers and committed reformers. In another World Bank Study in the same period, it was noted that in Nigeria, 26% of public sector reforms were cancelled, 29% of reforms never got completed, and 45% of on-going reform projects are rated unsatisfactory. Given these facts, it is no surprise that the country’s public sector reform efforts have yet to yield positive results.
In collaboration with the Nigerian Economic Summit Group, we are carrying out research on past reform initiatives in Nigeria with the following objectives:
To share knowledge of public administration and civil service reforms to citizens and stakeholders to mobilise their participation, support and commitment to calling for improved public service delivery
To educate, inform and equip stakeholders so that they can better hold public sector and political leaders accountable for their commitments and performance in implementing public administration and civil service reforms.
To mobilise collective accountability, responsibility and ownership for the current and future trajectory of reforms.
The results of the research will be published in 2023.
