AB - As effective government capacity is essential to avoid government failures and improve its performance, performance management in the public sector has to prioritize ways to manage its capacity. Since the high performance profile requires a systematic and sustainable mechanism, government capacity should be adequately identified and measured to gain a competitive advantage in public services. This study aims at proposing a practical indicator system that can measure a government’s core capacity, corresponding to the stages of national development. After extensive literature review and expert focus group interviews, government capacity is characterized into three dimensions: professional capacity, ethical capacity, and collaborative governance capacity. Measurement indicators of each capacity are then discussed. These government capacity indicators can be used for managing existing major indicators, diagnosing the results of official development assistance, and providing information on government activities.
