Public Sector Reform - Coordination of activities to restructure and improve the effectiveness and efficiency of the Public Service and improve the delivery of services to the public

Citizen Empowerment Providing opportunities and access to citizens to develop capabilities that are valuable to actively participate in the development and decision making of a community.
