CITIZEN-DRIVEN PERFORMANCE IMPROVEMENT—AN INTRODUCTION (3 cr.)  
20:834:537:B5:84231 (CANCELLED)
5/27-7/3
ONLINE COURSE
STAFF

Improving government performance and facilitating citizen participation are two recurrent themes in the administration of government.  However, the link between performance measurement and citizen participation has not been fully emphasized. As a result, citizens' role in measurement has been occasionally realized but not systematically investigated.  The consequence is that performance measurement may fall prey to political manupulation and managerial arrogance. In other words, performance measurement without citizen input, understanding, and acceptance will not fulfill its objective - to improve democratic accountability.
