Institute for Government (IfG)

The Institute for Government (IfG) is a UK-based think tank that focuses on improving government effectiveness. It conducts research and analysis on various aspects of government operations, public services, and policy implementation. The IfG is currently newsworthy due to its recent reports analyzing the Labour government's performance and civil service morale. One report found that Labour's efforts to reform public services and devolve power from Whitehall are not meeting their stated ambitions. Another report indicates a slight increase in civil service morale since Labour took power in 2024, particularly in the energy and health departments. These reports highlight the IfG's role in providing independent assessments of government performance and its impact on public services and civil servants, making it a relevant source of information for policymakers and the public.
