Government effectivenesscaptures the perceptions of the quality of public services, the quality of the civil service and the degree of its independence from political pressures, the quality of policy formulation and implementation, and the credibility of the government's commitment to such policies. According to the World Bank, the government of the Netherlands is one of the most effective in the world.
