The Public Management Consulting Division (PMCD) is responsible for providing management consultancy services with respect to organisational design and development to Cabinet and Government Ministries, Departments and Agencies.
PMCD's mandate is aligned to Goal 16 of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, that is, Peace, Justice, and Strong Institutions – Promote peaceful and inclusive societies for sustainable development, provide access to justice for all and build effective, accountable, and inclusive institutions at all levels.
Accessing PMCD Services
PMCD services can be requested by the Cabinet, Ministers, Permanent Secretaries, Heads of Department, or other senior public officers. These services are provided at no cost to Government Agencies.
PMCD offers objective, high-quality consulting support delivered by experienced professionals with in-depth knowledge of the public service environment.
Agencies engage in the consulting process by:
- Providing relevant background information
- Participating in interviews, surveys, and process mapping
- Collaborating on solution development
- Attending targeted training sessions
PMCD recommendations are subject to stakeholder negotiation. Draft reports are shared with the Permanent Secretary, Agency Head, and Minister. Final reports are only submitted for Cabinet consideration once approved by the relevant Minister.
In cases where there is disagreement with PMCD's recommendations, clients may present alternative views in their Cabinet Note, as Cabinet is the final decision-making authority.
Note: PMCD does not currently offer services to private organisations.
