Public Sector Capacity Building Program (PSCAP) Support Project: (original) (raw)

The state inherited a public service characterized by weaknesses in the administrative and working systems. Hence, it lacked effectiveness, efficiency and ethical behavior in performance and service delivery and unpredictable resource flows had undermined the allocative and operational efficiency of the public sector at the federal, regional, and local levels in Ethiopia. The half-day documentary on PSCAP and the discussion that followed showed that the decentralization process showed that has moved from deconcentration of administrative burden to a more devolutionary tangent. Moreover, it has overseen the transformation from the Central Personnel Agency to a more complex human resource development and management system that is in track. There are improvements in the justice delivery system where backlogs in adjudication of pending cases are clearing faster. The FEACC vehemently enforces discipline without recourse to bails and/or utter neglect. The Federal Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (FEACC) and the Courts are handing this. Urban management has improved literally from non-existence to efforts to manage the burgeoning towns and cities of Ethiopia. Revenue collection and administrations has seen a revolutionary jump-start… the conclusion was that state capacity development is a continuous process and hence, it cannot be a onetime program.
