Foreword
This report is the fourth country assessment to be published as part of the OECD Value for Money in Government series. The study, launched in 2008 on the initiative of the Dutch government, aims to identify new developments in the organisation of central government that are leading to better value for money: better services at lower costs for taxpayers. The first report in the Value for Money in Government series was published in 2010 under the title Public Administration after “New Public Management”. Since then country assessments have been published on the Netherlands (2010), Denmark (2011) and Australia (2012).
