Abstract
We explore the contributions of the 4 Cs (Challenge, Compare, Consult and Compete) of Best Value as criteria in improving the performance of public sector services. This is a new approach in performance management in Nigeria and developing countries in Europe. The quantitative approach employed to consult stakeholders reveals stakeholder awareness of challenging the performance of public services: compares the performance of public services with relevant standards; and investigates the transparency of public service compliance with relevant standards. The research shows that the 4 Cs can be of value in Nigeria and developing countries through its use as an indicator for effective service delivery.
