Reforms

Public Sector Reforms are being implemented with the aim of modernizing public services in order to eliminate organizational rigidities that undermines public service efficiency and effectiveness. The Public Sector Reforms Programme is aimed at improving performance and service delivery in the Public Service to the citizens.

  • Focus on the achievement of expected results and outcomes.
  • Ensure prudent management of public resources.
