OECD Observatory of Public Sector Innovation’s Post

🆕 Report | #BehaviouralScience for #corruption risk management🛑 The OECD - OCDE and Úrad vlády Slovenskej republiky collaborated on behavioural insights methods to bolster the Slovak Republic’s public administration risk management practices. An effective corruption risk management system is crucial for public integrity. It ensures striving for efficient and targeted integrity measures and to achieving the goals of public policies. Corruption risk management requires choices and actions from public officials that can be influenced by social norms and dynamics. Incorporating insights from behavioural science thus can ensure corruption risk management policies align closer with actual human behaviour and decision-making. Key insights and recommendations: ➡️ Behavioural strategies can be an effective tool for encouraging public sector integrity ➡️ Public servants should feel safe and be encouraged to communicate risk  ➡️ Exposure to good ethical behaviours from leaders can enhance the likelihood of public servants communicating corruption risks ➡️ Anti-corruption coordinators and cross-agency working groups could act as important institutional leaders for effective risk management ➡️ Knowledge of risk communication channels and trust in the system contribute to the likelihood of communicating about corruption risks ➡️ Enhanced awareness of the risk management system and function can contribute to increasing the understanding of the importance of communicating integrity risks 🔗 The project was financed by EEA and Norway Grants. #BehaviouralInsights #RiskManagement #SlovakRepublic #PublicAdministration Chiara Varazzani PhD, Henrietta Blom, Francesca Papa, Frédéric Boehm

Deadline approaching | 20 June 📢 Governments long for articulated spaces to exchange experiences, showcase their initiatives and gain recognition for their #innovation efforts. Experiences shared with other governments become richer and sounder. Talks, round tables, and forums are great for spreading the word, but we know firsthand that programmes like the #Gov2Gov Innovation Incubator present a unique opportunity for public teams to share their creativity and insights differently: in-depth and collaboratively. The challenges selected for the Gov2Gov Innovation Incubator programme give public teams the chance to take their knowledge further. Join the programme and team up with one of the selected countries: https://lnkd.in/eKEFwEmr This project is funded by the European Commission's #HorizonEurope programme. #Incubator #PublicSectorInnovation

The Government of #Flanders, Belgium, is actively working to build resilience in the face of uncertainty. By strengthening #StrategicForesight capacity, the Government is steering towards a policymaking system that is robust in addressing contemporary challenges, while flexible in its ability to adapt to change.
