Public Sector Performance and Development Cooperation in Rwanda - a publication written by GFA employees
This study provides a conceptual framework for analysing Results-Based Approaches to improving public sector effectiveness and efficiency according to their actor constellation and shared characteristics. Though there is consensus regarding the importance of functioning public sector agencies and organizations for sustainable development, public sector reform efforts have historically only had modest success. Results-Based Approaches aim at improving public sector performance through the establishment of reward modalities on the domestic as well as international levels, and the authors of this work evaluate the potential of these approaches to provide an entry point for development cooperation. Applying their framework to empirical data obtained from fieldwork in Rwanda, they analyse the main domestic performance approach – Imhigo –and suggest how the system might be strengthened.
This publication is the result of the participation of three GFA employees in the 50th Postgraduate Program of the German Development Institute (DIE): Victoria Gonsior, Franziska Jakobs and Miriam Nikitka. The group was led by Stephan Klingebiel, Head of Bi and Multilateral Development Cooperation at DIE, who is also author of this publication.
