This new index will be a global measure of where city government capabilities are strong and where critical skills must be built up. To develop our thinking and learn from existing practice, we have explored the landscape of existing capacity and capability frameworks, toolkits and indexes. Over the past decade, there has been a rapid growth in these types of schemes that seek to measure and foster government performance. Despite their increasing ubiquity and their aspirations to help improve governments, there has been relatively little exploration and comparison of these schemes, to understand their ways of working and gauge their usefulness to governments around the world. This paper explores 54 frameworks, toolkits and indexes to understand their geographic spread; who is funding their development; the national, regional and city-level focus; the approaches to measurement; and evidence of influence and impact on their target audiences. It draws upon these insights to identify what the forthcoming Public Sector Capabilities Index can learn to ensure it adds value to city governments and to identify where further research is needed. date: 2024-03-15 publisher: UCL Institute for Innovation and Public Purpose official_url: https://www.ucl.ac.uk/bartlett/public-purpose/publications/2024/mar/landscape-public-sector-capacity-and-capability-frameworks-toolkits-and oa_status: green full_text_type: pub language: eng primo: open primo_central: open_green elements_id: 2309783 isbn_13: 978-1-917384-06-3 confidential: false lyricists_name: Puttick, Ruth lyricists_id: RPUTT24 actors_name: Puttick, Ruth actors_name: Kaltenbacher, Brigitte G actors_id: RPUTT24 actors_id: BGKAL87 actors_role: owner actors_role: impersonator full_text_status: public series: Policy Report (IIPP) number: 2024/02 place_of_pub: London, UK pages: 28 citation: Puttick, Ruth; (2024) The landscape of public sector capacity and capability frameworks, toolkits and indexes: What they do and what we can learn.
