The World Public Sector Report will be published every two years with the intention of reviewing major trends and issues concerning public administration and governance. This inaugural issue of the report considers the process of globalisation and the challenges and opportunities it offers for the role of the public sector in countries around the world. It is increasingly being acknowledged that the State is a key actor in the development process and has a major role to play in making globalisation work for all, for example in alleviating poverty and income inequality, advancing human rights, promoting sustainable development and combating international crime. Issues discussed in the report include: the many facets of globalisation; its impact on the State; reinforcing state institutions and social policies; defining and measuring the size of the State.
In July 1997, the Secretary General of the U.N. reported that the organization had become fragmented, duplicative, & ineffective in some areas; it risked becoming irrelevant if it did not more effectively carry out its missions. In response, he proposed a reform program consisting of 3 core elements: restructuring U.N. leadership & operations to unify organizational efforts to accomplish core missions, developing a performance-based human capital system, & introducing programming & budgeting processes focused on managing program performance. This report assesses whether the U.N. had put into place these 3 elements & whether they are improving U.N. management & performance.
