| Summary: | Limited state capacity to carry out core
government and service delivery functions poses a major
constraint in post conflict countries, especially those with
low income levels. With regard to scope, the research
carried out for this note primarily focuses on developing a
detailed understanding of how civil service institutes are
established and function, and to reflect on available
information about their impact. This note synthesizes the
findings from case studies covering three countries and four
public service training institutes: Rwanda (Rwanda
Management Institute (RMI)); Uganda (Civil Service College
Uganda (CSCU)); and Liberia (Liberia Institute of Public
Administration (LIPA) and the Financial Management Training
Program (FMTP)). The general policy rationale for
establishing institutes of public service has been to
improve national public sector capacity; while a key choice
involves investing in longer and more in-depth or
shorter-term training. To deliver training, a mix of some
permanent staff with consultants recruited from the public
sectors has worked well. |
