Executive Summary

The 2008 World Public Sector Report, People Matter: Civic Engagement in Public Governance centres on civic engagement in public governance and begins by contrasting ‘corporate governance’ and ‘public governance’. Corporate governance aims at maximizing monetary profit, whereas public governance aims at maximizing public welfare. In contrast to corporate governance, the Report argues that the institutions and processes of public governance should aim systematically at enhancing public welfare fully and equitably.
