Transforming Public Institutions

Our mission is to build inclusive, high-performing public institutions by embedding equity into governance and driving meaningful change.

Welcome to the Center for Equity, Effectiveness, and Efficiency in Local Government

The Center for Equity, Effectiveness, and Efficiency (C3E)  partners with local government entities to  improve how they operate, manage change and deliver results you can trust.

Centering Equity

We recognize that equity cannot function as a peripheral value—it must serve a strategic driver that defines both operational effectiveness and efficiency. 

Driving Effectiveness

Effectiveness centers value on social and civic outcomes that the social sector can uniquely deliver. These outcomes include feelings of community, reduction in polarization, equality, fairness, and justice.

Fueling Efficiency

Efficiency, in an equity framework, guides cost-benefit analyses in improving the performance of public organizations through enhancing and valuing the capabilities of workers inside of local government.
