Abstract
This note focuses on some of the key
problems confronting the civil and public service in the
Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), in particular the reform
of the wage system and the impact of the decentralization
process on civil service reform. It was produced by the
World Bank in collaboration with the ministries of public
service and budget, as well as with experts of the
Cooperation Technique Belge (CTB). The paper is based on an
in-depth analysis of the Congolese public service system,
published in a separate note, as well as on a series of
analytical papers on the decentralization process in DRC,
which are available separately. It also incorporates
feed-back and comments received during a presentation at the
National Forum on Decentralization that was held in
Kinshasa, October 3-5, 2007. This analytical paper offers
several options aimed at solving the problems that have been
identified and discusses in detail the three issues relating
to the current reform agenda that are now the key to
resolving the fundamental issues below: 1. the impact of the
decentralization process on the organization and management
of the civil service; 2. the reform of the wage system and,
linked to that, the rationalization of the number of civil servants.
