MPS CURRENT STRATEGIC PLAN 2003 -
2006 |
Background Information
The Ministry of the Public Service was formerly known as Cabinet Personnel under
the Office of the Prime Minister. It was responsible for the management of
personnel in the Civil Service. It was granted ministerial status in the
financial year 1985/6 as the executive arm of the Minister responsible for the
administration of the personnel function in the Public Service. It was granted
full ministerial autonomy under Head 44 in 1999/2000.
The activities of the Ministry were guided by five-year National Development
Plans and these were usually not followed. With the adoption of the Civil
Service Reform Programme, sponsored by UNDP, the first Strategic Plan was
developed in 1996/97. However, before the plan could be implemented, there was a
change in Ministerial leadership. The new leadership did not implement the
strategic plan but embarked on restructuring the Ministry in 1999. After the
restructuring process, the 2001/2003 Strategic Plan was developed. The Strategic
Plan was developed as a prelude to the introduction of the Performance
Management System (PMS), which requires objectives against which performance can
be measured. |
