PSC also evaluated the institutions based on performance management, equitable allocation of opportunities and resources, public participation in the policy-making process and efficiency in the use of resources.

The Commission also looked at good governance, transparency and accountability.

"The overall compliance index for all the 508 institutions evaluated was 43.8% compared to 46.0% in the previous year evaluation (2022/2023)," read the report in part.

"This was a moderate score, indicating that there were gaps and room for improvement in adherence to values and principles in Articles 10 and 232 of the Constitution."
