| description |
The Government of Zimbabwe (GOZ) faces
difficult choices in managing the size of its civil service
wage bill. The Government understands the need to watch the
escalating wage bill carefully and put in place a strategy
to steer it to a sustainable level as early as possible.
Historical and international comparisons suggest that an
overall wage bill of around 10 percent of GDP should be the
medium-term target. This note illustrates that Zimbabwe
could take immediate steps in 2010 and 2011 that will put it
on the path of a sustainable level of wage bill in the
medium-term. The focus of efforts to contain the wage bill
should be on short-term measures because designing and
implementing a medium-term approach to wage bill management
would be too challenging in view of prevailing economic
uncertainty and complex political reality. The note covers
the staff employed by the Central Government, including
uniformed services and staff employed by the Grant-in-Aided
(GIA) institutions. The staff employed by local governments
and public enterprises are excluded because direct transfers
from the central budget to local government and public
enterprises are rather small. (annex A has an outline of the
institutional aspects of civil service in Zimbabwe). Given
the paucity of information, the note does not make any
recommendations specific to the GIA wage bill. |
