This is in line with the Constitution of South Africa, which calls for public administration to promote the progressive realisation of human rights under a public administration dispensation that is governed by democratic values and principles of development. The NSG is at the forefront of this huge responsibility, which calls on building an ethical, professional and capable public sector in the service of the people of South Africa. The main focus of the NSG is to build the capacity of the state across all three spheres of government. In addition to its domestic obligations, the NSG also works with a network of similar institutions in Africa and around the world to promote democratic governance and development of the public sector on the African continent. The NSG responds to the dictates of the South African Constitution, the National Development Plan, AU Agenda 2063 and UN Agenda 2030 for Sustainable Development in as far as building capable and well-governed institutions is concerned.
