Centre of Government Review of Brazil
Toward an Integrated and Structured Centre of Government
The OECD Centre of Government Review of Brazil offers key recommendations on consolidating the strategic role of the country’s centre of government (CoG) in managing policy priorities and improving outcomes. The review examines the CoG’s roles, mandates, and its co-ordination capacities. It provides an assessment of Brazil’s ability to translate political commitments into measurable objectives and delves into its capacity to link strategic plans to outcomes. Focusing on the capacities of the CoG to contribute to the budget strategy and the federal budget, it considers medium- and long-term plans and how these align with the budgetary framework and how the budget can support policies in a coherent manner. The review also examines the CoG’s role in monitoring and evaluating high-priority policy performance and how this information can be used to improve outcomes. Finally, the review assesses how Brazil can consolidate and reinforce public communication, both to pursue policy objectives and to promote a more open government.

Executive Summary
The Centre of Government Review of Brazil assesses the capacity of Brazil’s centre of government (CoG) to manage the design of integrated strategic priorities as well as its to lead whole-of-government co-ordination to implement cross-cutting priorities. Recent governance and administrative reform programmes in Brazil have resulted in significant institutional changes in key public governance functions, including public policy steering, government co-ordination, budgeting, strategic planning, monitoring and evaluation, and public communications. The review focuses on the capacity of the CoG to perform these crucial functions. Brazil’s CoG is usually understood to encompass the Presidency of the Republic – including the Personal Cabinet of the President, General Secretariat; the Institutional Security Cabinet, the Civil Cabinet of the Presidency (Casa Civil), the Special Secretariat for Strategic Affairs, the Secretariat of Government; and Office of the Attorney-General – as well as the Ministry of Economy, the Special Secretariat for Social Communication in the Ministry of Communications, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and the Office of the Comptroller-General (CGU).
