Enhancing Public Governance is a timely and practical guide to transforming the institutions, systems, and leadership that underpin effective government and create lasting public value.In a world shaped by rapid technological change, economic uncertainty, social transformation, and increasingly complex global challenges, public institutions can no longer rely on traditional approaches. They must become more adaptive, innovative, resilient, inclusive, accountable, and citizen-centred-while sustaining public trust and delivering services that genuinely improve people’s lives.Drawing on extensive international experience and practical insight, this book explores how public institutions can respond to these demands through institutional reform, digital transformation, performance management, sustainable development, inclusive governance, adaptive leadership, and collaborative decision-making. It examines the pivotal role of the civil service and wider public sector in building capable institutions, strengthening accountability, fostering resilience, and delivering better outcomes for citizens.A central theme of the book is that effective governance is not achieved by government alone. It requires transparency, meaningful stakeholder engagement, strategic partnerships, and constructive collaboration across government, the private sector, civil society, and citizens.Blending theory with practical experience, Enhancing Public Governance offers both a strategic perspective and a practical framework for turning governance challenges into opportunities for institutional improvement and public value creation.It is an essential resource for policymakers, public sector leaders, civil servants, development practitioners, researchers, students, and all those committed to building stronger institutions and more effective systems of government.Above all, this book is a call to action: to rethink how public institutions operate, embrace change, and build the capable, responsive, and future-ready governance systems that the twenty-first century demands.
