Innovation in the public sector

Abstract

Comprising the general government sector and all public corporations including the central banks, the public sector can be further broken down into central government, state government, local government, social security funds, and so on. The role of the public sector is to provide quality public services and respond to citizens’ and businesses’ needs while developing and maintaining trust in government. Its duties include administration, ensuring public order and safety, education, health and social care, and a variety of other functions for citizens and organisations.
