Importance of the Public Service in Achieving the UN SDGs

Author

  • Jackson, Emerson Abraham

Abstract

Public service is the engine of effective governance delivery in the world economy; governments across the world cannot function well without the enabling structures of public administration to deliver on their mandate as set out mostly in (political) manifestos, while also making sure the core mandate for meeting citizens’ basic welfare needs are made available through an efficient market system. The operation of such a market system must enable entities or agents to act in the best interest of delivering high services, which would have already been set as dictated through regulation of the legal system – this should also facilitate the presence of information symmetry for agents to operate (Jackson and Jabbie, 2019; Winston, 2006; Weiner and Vining, 2004).
