Improving Programme and Project Delivery - Background
A programme of Improving Programme and Project Delivery was established in Whitehall in September 2001 as part of the agenda to improve the Civil Service's capability and capacity to deliver Government programmes, projects and policies. One of the main strands implemented across Whitehall Departments, under the co-ordination and guidance of the Office of Government Commerce (OGC), has been the establishment of "Centres of Excellence" for programme and project delivery. Each Centre of Excellence has a strategic role in providing leadership and a focus for improving programme and project delivery skills and knowledge within their Department.
The Scottish Government formed its own Centre of Expertise in 2002 to implement the aims of IPPD. The Centre of Expertise also manages the Scottish Government's Gateway Review programme.
This websection has two main objectives:
- To provide information on the Gateway Review process and support documentation for Gateway Review administration.
- To provide a resource for guidance on Good Practice in Programme, Policy and Project Delivery
