Key concepts
Once a reform program is adopted, its efficacy depends on a government’s ability to implement its own agenda. This criterion examines whether the executive is able to implement its laws and work programs effectively.
This process depends in part on the government’s ability to delegate implementation tasks efficiently through the levels of the executive, through individual line ministries to departments and agencies. Oversight powers and the ability to ensure or enforce ministerial compliance are often critical in this respect.
Because many tasks are performed by local or regional governments, the criterion also examines the level of autonomy possessed by these subnational levels, and the degree to which responsibilities imposed upon them are accompanied by sufficient funds for implementation.
