The Centre for Effective Governance of Indian States (CEGIS Foundation) is dedicated to enabling transformative improvement in the functioning of the Indian state.

 

Our work is informed by research, evidence and a practical orientation towards implementable ideas. We partner with state governments to improve the tools they need to design effective governance reforms, while also offering strategic implementation support. Our focus is on strengthening governance by improving four core functions of the government - outcome measurement, personnel management, strategic financial management and leveraging markets for improved public service delivery.

OUR THEMATIC PILLARS

High-performing organisations exhibit four key traits: measuring outcomes for goal setting and monitoring progress, strategic use of personnel including hiring, training and managing performance–to achieve the goals above, strategic financial management that enables resource allocation based on evidence and cost-effectiveness and creating efficient systems to leverage external actors.

 

CEGIS is dedicated to enhancing the effectiveness of state governments by actively working to incorporate the aforementioned features into the operations of state administrations and consolidate learnings to create knowledge products.
