Description of project:
The overall objective of the TA-4080 is to contribute to continuing enhancement of OOG's capacity in assisting the Government in national- level policy coordination and decision making.

The outcomes of the program include:

• enhance the policy analysis capability of OOG officials
• formulate new working rules and procedures and develop internal capacity for improving policy decision-making processes
• assist in improving monitoring of the implementation of government decisions
• assist in internal capacity building in coordination, leadership, and change management. All these activities will be undertaken following a participatory (process) approach involving OOG officials and leaders. It is also envisaged that the TA would provide OOG’s core senior officials an opportunity to familiarize themselves with best practices abroad in administrative system reengineering.
