Partnership 2000 provided for the establishment of Partnership Committees in each Department and Office. The aim of Partnership Committees is to try to involve staff directly in change and modernisation in their organisation.

The operation of partnership in the civil service and in the state sector is kept under review. A formal review of Partnership in the Civil Service was completed in 2002. For more information visit the Better Government website.
