tool for assessing the management performance of public service institutions called the Management Performance Assessment Tool (MPAT)

The MPAT framework is built around four management Key Performance Areas (KPAs), namely, Strategic Management Governance and Accountability Human Resource Management Financial Management

MPAT is designed to assess compliance and the quality of management practices in these four KPAs.
