Programmes and Projects Initiatives

Improving public sector programme and project management capability is vital to improving the success rates of public sector programmes and projects, and enhancing the quality of new initiatives and the effectiveness with which they are implemented.

The OGC GatewayTM Review process has been heralded as key in supporting the Government's value for money gains by improving the quality and success rates of projects. More than 1,350 projects have benefited from undergoing OGC Gateway reviews.

OGC has also

  • encouraged the setting up of programme and project management (PPM) centres of excellence across Government departments and the public sector,
  • established guidance on a range of topics and
  • set up the programme and project management specialism, as well as providing a range of guidance that supports skills development.
