Strengthening capacity in
RomaniaInstitutional strengthening has been identified as
one of the key elements in the success of any project. Over the
past ten years, demands on institutions have grown. Management, as
opposed to administration, is now seen as the key element in
successful operations, particularly in urban
organisations.
Successful modern management depends on being sufficiently flexible
to respond to multiple goals and changing needs. This is a
particularly demanding requirement for those countries that are
moving away from command economies, whose public sector
organisations will increasingly tend to provide a framework for
service provision, rather than attempting to impose comprehensive
controls.
In many countries, decentralisation of government responsibilities
to local administrations is placing an additional burden on already
over-stretched organisations.
These trends have placed increasing emphasis on accountability,
efficiency, and transparency in public sector organisation
management. Mott MacDonald has the multidisciplinary capacity to
assist the public sector in general, and local and regional
governments in particular, to upgrade their capabilities to meet
these challenges. Our areas of expertise include:
- municipal finance
- public sector planning, programming, budgeting and
monitoring
- aid co-ordination
- training needs analysis and training
- organisation and management
- public administration
- private sector involvement
- manpower development
- cost recovery
We often co-operate with British and other European institutions,
particularly educational establishments which have a high
reputation in some of the above areas, to extend the available
expertise.
Many of our staff and consultants have held managerial positions in
public sector or municipal organisations. They can bring in-depth
knowledge to bear on the problems to be tackled as well a wide
appreciation of the alternative approaches available as a result of
their consultancy experience.
