7️⃣ Read more in the full paper: “From Polycrisis to Policy Coherence. How New Public Governance can enhance Austria’s Development Policy” by @schl.bsky.social & Robert Zeiner

6️⃣📝In short: Austria’s development policy needs less fragmentation and more joined-up thinking. A whole-of-government approach isn’t just an administrative reform. It’s a democratic necessity in an age of complexity. 🌍💡

5️⃣ The authors propose:
✨ A shared vision for Austrian development policy
✨ Stronger integrative mechanisms between ministries
✨ More responsive instruments to monitor impact and coherence
👉 all aligned with the 2030 Agenda and the SDGs.

4️⃣ For Austria 🇦🇹, this means bringing together all relevant ministries and actors, beyond the Foreign Ministry, to make development policy more coherent, coordinated and strategic.

📊 The goal: turn the "Three-Year Programme for Development Policy" into a true whole-of-government strategy.

3️⃣ Public administration has tried to adapt before:
From Weberian bureaucracy - “the state as a machine” 👉 to New Public Management - “the state as a company” 👉 now to New Public Governance - “the state as a network.”

Cross-sectoral, collaborative, and focused on creating public value.

2️⃣ The paper “From Polycrisis to Policy Coherence” explores how a fast-changing world, marked by instability, multipolarity, and the “polycrisis”, challenges traditional governance systems.

🌍 Geopolitical tensions, climate stress, and global interdependence are reshaping development policy.
