Economizing on public sector management

Description

Economizing on public sector management involves streamlining administrative processes, reducing unnecessary expenditures, and optimizing resource allocation to enhance efficiency and effectiveness in government operations. This strategy targets waste, duplication, and bureaucratic inefficiencies by implementing cost-control measures, performance monitoring, and accountability systems. Its practical intent is to ensure that public funds are used judiciously, improving service delivery and public trust while addressing fiscal constraints and promoting sustainable governance.

Implementation

Countries have tried to reduce the burden on public sector managers in three main ways: rationalizing economic management, improving central coordination, and decentralizing government activities.
