RESULTS
The project has produced a number of
results:
A model of good governance for Canada (‘reformcraft’) that
includes action levers and criteria to measure progress. The model has been discussed at
15 round table discussions with more than 160 people across Canada from all walks of life
and was also shaped by many bilateral conversations as well as by other governance-related
work. The result is a simplified version of the model. (See Annex B).
An increased awareness amongst a number of opinion leaders in all sectors, of
the importance of moving towards ‘good governance’, and support for continued
discussion (the beginning of a network).
Advances in understanding about the nature of challenges to good governance and
ways to think about it differently that are available (in speeches, articles, handouts
etc.) and are of interest to experts and practitioners around the world.
Contacts with senior officials in the European Union (EU) which can be used and
built upon in order to learn from experiments going on there and with key people in the
international community like Professor Yehezkel Dror, Advisor to the Club of Rome who
are interested in governance.
A certain degree of profile for the topic of good governance through the project
work itself plus lectures (e.g. John Carson Lecture, University of Ottawa, Ottawa, Canada,
February 2000); articles to be published (e.g. in Optimum Magazine published by Prospectus
Inc. and Consulting and Auditing Canada, June 2000 and a book on public administration and
policy reform in the U.S. and Canada to be published by Mosaic Press, Oakville, Canada);
speeches and /or adjudicated papers (e.g. paper submitted for the Commonwealth Association
of Public Administration and Management’s (CAPAM’s) biennial conference in South
Africa in October 2000).
