ETP ANNUAL REPORT 2011
International Performance Review
The external perspective towards
securing a rigorous process
Core to the Economic Transformation Programme (ETP) has been
that of consultation and collaboration, and this practice has been
applied throughout the ETP’s existence. From its inception in
the 1000-Person Workshop, to the National Key Economic Areas
(NKEA) Labs, the Open Days, Townhalls, Progress Updates and
monthly Steering Committees, we have sought to ensure that
relevant parties have the opportunity to contribute, and that we
obtain an external perspective to ensure we remain grounded
and reflective in our efforts.
Seven globally-respected experts were selected as panellists of
the International Performance Review (IPR) to examine the scope,
effort as well as results of the ETP and to provide an independent
and unbiased external evaluation. These individuals were chosen
for the diversity of their backgrounds, representing global
institutions, national governments, non-government organisations
and think tanks. Another pre-requisite was deep experience in
their respective fields of study, as well as global exposure. Their
international nature and seniority in their organisations ensured a
robust discussion leading to a full critique of our first year results.

The panellists were given a comprehensive briefing on the ETP
process, from inception to implementation, with emphasis on the
six NKEAs as they had earlier selected: Education; Greater Kuala
Lumpur/Klang Valley; Financial Services; Oil, Gas and Energy;
Healthcare and Tourism. These sectors were presented by their
respective Directors, and supported by representatives from the
implementing ministries and agencies.
