How can government commissioning achieve better outcomes?
Governments can spend billions outsourcing public services to the private and not-for-profit sectors. How can we ensure value for money? What evidence is there that payment for outcome delivers better value than traditional commissioning methods? A panel discussion with:
- Dr Mara Airoldi, Director, Government Outcomes Lab, Blavatnik School of Government, University of Oxford
- H.E. Dr Amel Karboul, CEO, Education Outcomes Fund for Africa and the Middle East
- Caroline Mason, Chief Executive, The Esmée Fairbairn Foundation
In an increasingly unstable global political climate, governments around the world face greater challenges than ever. This year, the Challenges of Government Conference looks at the 'Future of Government', analysing how technological changes, new kinds of politics and different approaches to addressing inequality can be harnessed for the public good.
The Challenges of Government Conference is the Blavatnik School's annual flagship event, which brings together the brightest minds in government, the private sector and academia to discuss policies, strategies and solutions to the world’s public policy challenges.
