Centre for Effective Governance of Indian States (CEGIS)
The Centre for Effective Governance of Indian States (CEGIS) aims to improve lives by helping state governments deliver better development outcomes. Our work is grounded in research, evidence and a practical orientation towards implementable ideas. We help state governments with the tools they need to design effective governance and expenditure reforms, while also offering strategic implementation support. Our focus is strengthening governance by improving four core functions of the government - outcome measurement, personnel management, strategic financial management and leveraging markets for improved public service delivery. Currently, we operate across the Bodoland Territorial Region (BTR), Delhi, Karnataka, Tamil Nadu and Telangana.
