The note assesses how the volume,
distribution, structure, and objectives of Bank lending for
civil service reform have changed in recent years. Bank
operations in civil service reform usually refers to
interventions that affect the organization, performance, and
working conditions of employees paid by government budgets,
but excludes reforms that affect police, the armed forces,
public health care workers, public school teachers, and
employees of state enterprises. Assessments of such reform
are relevant in that they can also help countries improve
governance, thus fostering good policy making, effective
service delivery, and accountable resource use. Findings
based on an Operations Evaluation Department's review
of such lending, indicates a growing number of standalone
civil service reform projects between 1980 and 1997.
However, between fiscal 1999 and 2001, only 4 of 62 civil
service reform interventions were standalone, being the rest
components of major lending operations. The note further
reviews the distribution of new lending, and its structure,
categorizing civil service reform objectives under three
broad headings: correcting fiscal imbalances, adjusting
civil servant's pay, and grading structures to improve
accountability, and service delivery. Issues for further
consideration are raised: what are the optimal combinations
- investment lending vs. programmatic adjustment - of such
financing, and under what circumstances? and, in identifying
the structure of the overall, changing portfolio, what would
the impact be? |
