Looking at it more, I think "public management reform" or "new public management" were informal ways of referring to this, and "[Reform of the] State Apparatus" might be better, because it's used more often in reference to Brazil in 1955:

"...995 Plan for the Reform of the State Apparatus (Plano Diretor da Reforma do Aparelho do Estado)..."

"A utilização da reforma do aparelho do Estado elaborada em 1995, ... order to do so we will employ 1995 proposal for the reform of the State apparatus or, ..."

"...the Reform of the State Apparatus (Plano Diretor da Reforma do Aparelho do Estado)..."
