Providing thematic expertise across the Commonwealth

Through our thematic specialists in public sector development we provide specialised expertise and advisory services to member countries. These also serve CHOGM mandates including combating corruption, Commonwealth Connects, local governance and public expenditure management. This work is in the following broad areas:

• Governance which encompasses institutional governance arrangements, parliamentary oversight bodies and executive government coordination.
• Sub-national Administration and Government.
• Public Financial Management.
• Public-Private Partnerships and Corporate Governance.
• Information and Communications Technologies.
• Human Resource Management and Leadership.

An example of this work is the Commonwealth Connects Programme which aims to help bridge the deepening Digital Divide across the 53 countries of the Commonwealth. This programme works to enable the effective use of information and communication technology strategies, e-governance, and the management of resources. Working together with Commonwealth partner agencies and member countries it aims to tap into available resources to fast-track positive change. It is a unique initiative that enables the transfer of technology and expertise across the whole Commonwealth.
