組織架構的科學化與合理化，要求政府架構改革必須以能力提升為目標。以能力標準衡量特區政府現行架構，主要存在核心職能與非核心職能未有適當區分、過分強調政府機構專業化配置、整體性與協調性不足、組織與政策功能關係不明確、諮詢組織網絡化程度有待提高等問題。按照政府架構改革原則，需要強化政策制訂機構的配備，重塑司、局級機構的職能關係；合併職能重疊部門，以整體化原則增設跨部門協調機制；以網絡化建設為目標推進諮詢組織革新。

A scientific and reasonable organisational structure demands governments to reform its structure through enhancement of capacity. Assessing by capacity standards, the existing structure of the Macau Special Administrative Region Government has such principal problems as an inappropriate division between core and non-core functions, an over-emphasis on professional distributions of agencies, a lack of holism and coordination between the agencies, an undefined relations between organisations and policy functions, as well as a low level of networking between the consultative organs. In accordance with the principles of government structural reforms, it is necessary to enhance policy-making agencies and to remodel the functional relations between the Secretaries and the Bureaux. It is also necessary to merge agencies with functional overlaps and to set up inter-agency coordination mechanism based on the principle of holism. Finally, consultative organs should be reformed with the goal to build a network between them.
