Contribution au débat sur la mesure de la performance de la gouvernance

Abstract

Unlike other policy sectors such as education and health, public administration has no tradition of comparative performance indicators. From a scientific as well as a managerial point of view, this is a missed opportunity. This article first attempts to clarify certain conceptual issues and then proposes a number of potential indicators for human resources management, budgeting and open government - three dimensions of public governance. The aim of this summary article is to stimulate debate on indicators for measuring governance performance. It is hoped that this will help provide a more solid basis for future comparative studies of public administration.
