4.5 Improving the performance of public services and formal sector enterprises: Working Out of Poverty
| |
| In many developing countries, pay and conditions in the public services
have deteriorated badly over the long years of austerity associated with
structural adjustment and the debt crises. This has seriously damaged morale

weakened confidence in the function of government. |

| “Only Government can fix the mess we are in”, President Obama.
“Government is the problem…”, Nate McCulloch Gwinnett Daily Post
We speak of government as if it were our neighbor, pastor, teacher, friend or foe. It is none of these and yet it is all of these. Government, at any level, is simply an organizational structure and is incapable of any action or activity until people are inserted into the equation. Our founding fathers meant it when they said “of the people, by the people and for the people”
So the problem and/or solution lie with us.
