Government Performance
For more than a decade, the Government Performance Project has been the nation’s premier source for comprehensive and independent information about state management.
Its mission is to improve service to citizens by strengthening government policy and performance. The Project systematically evaluates how well states manage their money, people, information and infrastructure—four areas critical to ensuring that states’ policy decisions and practices actually deliver their intended outcomes. This information in turn helps state policymakers understand the steps they can take and the policy changes they can make to strengthen government performance.
In March 2008, the Pew Center on the States launched its fourth 50-state report card, in partnership with Governing magazine. The report card lays the groundwork for what the Pew Charitable Trusts’ Board of Directors has long encouraged: leveraging real management improvements in the states.
