| Summary: | In early 2010, Zimbabwe's Minister
of Public Service requested Bank support for a public
administration review to provide analytical support and
technical assistance to identify the key issues to restore
the quality of public administration in Zimbabwe. This
policy note presents an initial framing of recent public
administration reform experiences and lessons learned in
Zimbabwe and set the agenda for future client engagement
with a view to present reform options. It has the following
objectives: first, it intends to situate and analyze the
current progress made and challenges facing the Zimbabwe
public service in its wider and rapidly changing - economic
and political context. Second, it aims at presenting the
Bank's engagement in this area over the last three
years and to synthesize what has been learned. Third, it
identifies reform options given the current context and
gives possible future entry-points. It mainly aims at
providing an initial basis for client-engagement to reach a
broad consensus on reform and the potential areas of Bank
support. This note is structured into five chapters as
follows: chapter one presents the introduction to this paper
and the country context in Zimbabwe. Chapter two frames the
role of the public administration in economic and social
recovery and presents progress made and challenges in public
administration reform. Chapter three discusses recent Bank
support in key public sector management areas. Chapter four
presents lessons learned by the Bank team throughout its
recent engagement. Chapter five evaluates the reform space,
options, priorities, and entry points. |
