About
The One Gov project was introduced by the States of Jersey's Chief Executive Officer as a way of restructuring government. The stated purpose of One Gov was to update and consolidate administrative structure, with a focus on collaborative working, eliminating silos, improving services and effectiveness and providing value for money.
The One Gov Review Panel undertook scrutiny of the ongoing reform of Jersey's public sector from 2019 to 2021 before the results of its work were passed to the Corporate Services Scrutiny Panel and Public Accounts Committee.
