The Centre for Effective Governance of Indian States (CEGIS Foundation) works closely with state governments in India to strengthen state capacity and enable transformative improvements in governance.

Our work is informed by cutting-edge research, evidence and a practical orientation toward implementable ideas. We partner with state governments to improve the tools they need to design effective governance 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.
