Public policy and performance measurement in the Netherlands

Abstract

Performance measurement is becoming increasingly important in the Dutch public sector. The amount of published data on the various parts of the production process have grown rapidly in the last few years. There is nevertheless a striking lack of information on productivity at both levels of government. Although the basic data are available—information on outputs and inputs in volume terms—neither level of government produces figures of this kind. It is important in a democracy that both central and local government provides information on efficiency and effectiveness so that voters are in a better position to judge whether they are getting value for money.
