Administrative and Governance Restructuring
This research area examines how public administration can become clearer, more accountable and more responsive through better defined responsibilities across federal, provincial and local institutions.
Why restructuring matters
Administrative reform is not only about changing boundaries. It also concerns how responsibilities are assigned, how institutions coordinate and how citizens can identify which level of government is responsible for a service or decision.
Clear Responsibilities
Federal, provincial and local institutions should have clearly defined functions to reduce overlap and confusion.
Stronger Local Administration
Public services can become more accessible when decision making is closer to the communities that depend on them.
Institutional Accountability
Clear authority makes it easier to evaluate performance and identify responsibility for outcomes.
The aim of governance restructuring is to create a public administration system that is easier to understand, easier to manage and more accountable to citizens.
