The OECD Public Governance Review of the Czech Republic identifies priority governance areas for reform in the Czech Republic and offers recommendations to strengthen the effectiveness, agility and responsiveness of the country’s public sector. The review first provides a snapshot on the effectiveness of the public administration and its capacity to address contemporary governance challenges, such as digitalisation and climate change. It then analyses a number of critical and priority public governance areas including citizen engagement, centre-of-government-led co-ordination and strategic planning, evidence-informed policy making in the Czech public administration, public administration at the local and regional level, human resources management in the public administration, and digital government. It also includes a case study on governance arrangements and regulations during the COVID-19 pandemic. The review provides recommendations for the Czech public administration to help it implement its Public Administration Reform Strategy: Client-oriented Public Administration 2030 (PAR), achieve the objectives of the PAR, and, ultimately, realise its longer-term sustainable development vision and commitments.

Public Administration at the Local and Regional Level in the Czech Republic
This chapter assesses how the public administration works at the regional and local levels in the Czech Republic and suggests ways to improve its effectiveness, including multi-level governance mechanisms to support more efficient policy delivery. For this, the chapter describes the subnational governance structure and the system of the delegation of competences. Considering the strong administrative fragmentation at the local level, the chapter focuses particularly on inter-municipal co-operation, co-ordination among levels of government and strategic planning practices at all levels. The chapter also assesses subnational governments’ capacity and their ability to engage local stakeholders.
