Description of project
A major, three-year project designed to assist the Government of the Russian Federation in improving the operational efficiency and effectiveness of its public administration and civil service by developing and implementing reform programmes and initiatives. The project is organised in three components:

  • Organisational design - improving the performance, transparency and accountability of Russia's public administration by rationalising the system of federal executive bodies and streamlining management processes.
  • Human resource management - improving public service performance by developing a merit-based HRM policy, an ethical and service-oriented culture and performance-related pay.
  • Financial management - enhancing the efficiency and effectiveness of public expenditure by modernising service planning and budgeting, financial management, accounting and control systems, and processes and procedures.
