| Abstract
|
:
|
Making public administration and governance more responsive to the needs of citizens is one of the most important aims of the United Nations' "Reinventing Government" programme. This volume brings together concepts and ideas from around the world about the need for and ways of achieving more responsive and accountable public administration within the framework of democratic governance. The Forum is a bridge on which governance principles and practices meet, and on which global initiatives interact with regional and local priorities. It offers tremendous opportunities for diverse stakeholders to exchange ideas on approaches that are critical to public policy and management challenges facing the world as a whole and its constituent regions.
