The aim of this paper is to encourage better service delivery and improved accountability by establishing a benchmark for good governance in the public sector. The International Framework is not intended to replace national and sectoral governance codes. Instead, it is anticipated that those who develop and set national governance codes for the public sector will refer to the International Framework in updating and reviewing their own codes. Where codes and guidance do not exist, the International Framework will provide both a shared understanding of what constitutes good governance in the public sector and a powerful stimulus for positive action.
