including the Ministry of State Administration, Ministry of Finance MoF, the Commission of Anti-Corruption and the Ombudsman Office.
The reform will follow the following strategy. Firstly, it will carry out a human resource diagnostic analysis in order to review the existing legislative and policy
procedures. Secondly, it will establish tools and procedures to enable better enforcement of the rule of law and to create an avenue for better planning and an
improved human resource management system. Finally, it will introduce an improved practice of human resource management through the establishment of
competency standards that will allow clarity in expectations and development goals to facilitate better performance management.
In particular, the MoF has made significant progress in piloting a Public Administration Reform through the Performance Management Reform PMR. For
this purpose a joint PMR Task Force was created, highlighting connections between planning, integrity, accountability and institutional performance. The PMR is now
undergoing eight key processes, which will hopefully expand to other Government institutions:
1. Identify an appropriate organizational structure to deliver the required results, culminating in the revision of the MoF Organic Law.
2. Approve the necessary legislation to conduct the reform. 3. Identify positions and competency standards.
4. Develop new job descriptions for all leadership and management positions complete with required competencies and Key Performance Indicators KPIs.
5. Complete baseline diagnostic tests for 939 nominated Public Financial Management PFM professionals in all Ministries
