Saudi Arabia's National Center for Performance Measurement

APCO Worldwide has scooped up Saudi Arabia's National Center for Performance Measurement, which evaluates the efficiencies of public agencies.

The Center's goal is to build greater accountability and public trust in governmental units.

APCO's work calls for strategic communications, media relations and outreach to US policymakers about the Kingdom's efforts to benchmark and measure its progress toward long-term objectives.

The Washington-based firm is to receive a flat fee of $1.6M plus expenses for its work that runs through April 30.
