The Centre for Effective Governance of Indian States (CEGIS Foundation) aims to improve lives by helping Indian state governments deliver better development outcomes. It believes that (a) improving the effectiveness of public expenditure is the most optimised way of achieving these development outcomes at scale, and (b) there is a clear need for an organisation that will systematically support this mission. CEGIS aims to provide Indian states with both an analytical roadmap for governance and expenditure reforms and strategic implementation support to deliver on this vision. The organisation focuses on improving the quality of public expenditure, personnel, and data, developing templates that drive improvements in development outcomes across India. It strives to produce high-quality economic analysis to inform state-level policy-making.
