The purpose of this study is to help the
government of Bangladesh establish a more effective and
efficient civil service to move the country toward its goals
for social and economic development. The report begins by
examining the scope of previous civil service reform
initiatives in Bangladesh and the reasons why their track
record has been so poor. This investigation focuses on civil
service management practices, such as recruitment, training,
performance evaluation, promotion, and career management.
The rules and practices guiding these elements of personnel
management most directly affect civil servants behavior and
their approach to their tasks. Although Bangladesh s civil
service comprises nearly a million officials, this study is
deliberately restricted to a small group - the Class I
officers, who make up only 10 percent of the civil service.
This group is at the tip of the civil service pyramid; it
has the potential to function as the spearhead of reform.
The study makes two major recommendations: Give additional
emphasis to merit in managing the civil service; and focus
on the fundamentals of civil service reform, where tinkering
at the edges has been unproductive, by building a stronger
legal framework, more independent oversight, and better
tools for managing performance. |
