THE Federal Government on Tuesday launched three digital platforms aimed at strengthening public service reforms, improving accountability and enhance service delivery across Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs).
The platforms are the Reform Tracker Dashboard, Knowledge Repository and the National Strategy for Public Service Reform (NSPSR) Dashboard.
Launching the platforms in Abuja, the Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), Sen. George Akume, said the tools would provide an integrated digital ecosystem for monitoring, documenting and communicating reforms across the public service.
Represented by his Senior Technical Adviser, Prof. Bernard Bolaji, Akume said the reform tracker dashboard would provide a credible mechanism for monitoring reform milestones, timelines and key performance indicators across MDAs.
According to him, the knowledge repository will serve as the Federal Government’s central digital library for reform policies, strategies, reports, guidelines and other knowledge products.
He added that the repository would preserve institutional memory, reduce duplication and promote evidence-based policymaking and continuous learning within the public service.
The SGF also said the NSPSR dashboard would provide real-time monitoring of the implementation of the National Strategy for Public Service Reform, enabling government to identify implementation gaps, track progress and make informed policy decisions.
He said the platforms underscored the Federal Government’s commitment to building a transparent, accountable, technology-driven and results-oriented public service in line with President Bola Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda.
Akume disclosed that a service-wide circular would be issued by the Office of the SGF directing all MDAs to liaise with the Bureau of Public Service Reforms (BPSR) on the deployment and application of the digital platforms.
He urged all MDAs to embrace the tools to improve monitoring and evaluation of reforms and to strengthen effective service delivery to Nigerians.
The SGF further revealed that the BPSR had been directed to conduct an impact assessment of the platforms to evaluate compliance by MDAs with the forthcoming service-wide circular.
Earlier, the Director-General of the Bureau of Public Service Reforms, Dr Dasuki Arabi, described the platforms as strategic instruments for strengthening governance through innovation.
Arabi said the platforms were developed to address longstanding challenges associated with fragmented implementation of reforms, weak coordination, inconsistent reporting and poor preservation of institutional knowledge.
He explained that the reform tracker dashboard would provide real-time monitoring of reform initiatives across government, replacing periodic paper-based reporting with continuous digital performance monitoring.
According to him, the knowledge repository will provide a central digital library for reform-related documents and ensure institutional knowledge is preserved and made readily accessible to policymakers, researchers and development partners.
He added that the NSPSR dashboard would provide executive-level analytics on the implementation of the National Strategy for Public Service Reform, enabling decision-makers to monitor progress, identify performance gaps and take timely corrective actions.
Arabi said the three platforms collectively would improve transparency, strengthen accountability, enhance inter-agency coordination, eliminate duplication of reform initiatives and support evidence-based decision-making across government.
He appealed to the Office of the SGF to issue a service-wide circular directing all MDAs to register and regularly update their reform initiatives on the reform tracker dashboard.
The BPSR director-general also recommended the establishment of Executive Reform Tracker Dashboards in the Offices of the President and the SGF to provide real-time visibility into reform implementation across MDAs.
According to him, the initiative will enable executive leadership to monitor reform performance, identify implementation bottlenecks early and make timely evidence-based decisions.
Arabi reaffirmed the bureau’s commitment to supporting the Federal Government’s drive towards a modern, innovative and performance-driven public service.(NAN)
