| description |
The objective of this report is to
review and recommend improvements to Ethiopia's
approach to public sector reform in order to advise the
Government and executive institutions on the future of its
public sector reform. The report also serves as a think
piece for the World Bank, other partners, and policy makers.
The report provides important basic information about the
features of Ethiopia's public sector reform approach
and reviews what worked well and what did not. It draws
lessons from other countries' experience to help
develop ideas and instruments of future public sector
reforms in Ethiopia. Ethiopia's system of
decentralization process has been credible in devolving
power, improving governance and service delivery well as
narrowing the per capital differences among Regional
Governments and districts. The second phase of
decentralization was 'big bang' and brought some
gaps on addressing administrative and fiscal
decentralization issues associated with: a) detailed clarity
of expenditure and revenue assignments, b) shortage of
skilled manpower and lack of incentive in remote areas and
inadequate budget for recruitment , c) building local
government specific purpose fiscal transfer, d) local
government mandate on Public Sector Reform (PSR) and
capacity building and e) transfers and f)decentralizing more
decision making power to regional states on deciding
financial resource for PSR and capacity building
implementation. In an effort to link the incentive and pay
mechanisms to performance in the civil service, the Ministry
of Civil Service (MoCS) has prepared a draft incentive
guideline and is waiting for its approval by the Council of
Ministers; it is an important step to the way forward. In
the future, the guideline has to reflect a systematic and
comprehensive incentive and pay reform and performance
mechanism and rolled out as it is a prerequisite to the PSR. |
