A Framework for Public Sector Performance Contracting

OECD Journal on Budgeting, 2002, vol. 1, issue 3, 117-153

Abstract: OECD Member countries have grown increasingly interested in the use of contract type arrangements in the 1990s as a means of improving public sector performance. This interest reflects a number of broad challenges to traditional governance structures. These challenges include the demand for greater efficiency through highly adaptive and flexible public sectors and the increasing pressure of accumulated public debt and fiscal deficits. "Governments must strive to do things better, with fewer resources, and, above all, differently."
