SGI is a non-profit, non-partisan civic association. The institute was spun off from the Institute for Social and Economic Reforms (INEKO) in 2001 to create an NGO with a clear focus on good governance and public policy in the Slovak Republic.
SGI’s mission is to initiate and promote the search for solutions to improve the process of making and implementing decisions on the allocation of public resources to meet the society’s needs to ensure good, accessible, transparent and effective public services for the citizens of the Slovak Republic.
