INTRODUCTION
The public service is the engine room of government. Unfortunately, it is often characterized by inefficiency, bureaucracy, and lack of accountability, which negatively affects service delivery to citizens.
Linking Performance to Accountability
Public servants should be held accountable for results. Introducing clear performance metrics and regular evaluations can help ensure that workers are productive and responsive to the needs of citizens.
Reducing Bureaucracy and Delays
Excessive bureaucracy slows govnment processes and frustrates citizens. Streamlining procedures and reducing unnecessary layers of approval will make the public service more efficient and citizen-friendly.
Promoting Transparency in Operations
Making government processes more transparent — including recruitment, procurement, and decision-making — will help reduce corruption and increase public trust in the civil service.
