This paper assesses a decade of experience in civil service reform in a sample of 32 sub-Saharan African countries. Many countries have made an important start towards reducing excessive staffing levels and the nominal wage bill, but less progress has been made in decompressing salary differentials in favor of higher-grade staff. In the CFA franc zone countries, real wages fell sharply after the 1994 devaluation, but the wage bill relative to tax revenue is still high in many countries. There is a need to consolidate quantitative first-generation reforms that contribute to macroeconomic stabilization. Equally important is the need to make progress on qualitative second-generation reforms, especially remuneration and promotion policies that reward performance and measures to improve civil service management. Such policies will require strong political commitment by governments.

This is the first comprehensive assessment of pension systems in the Middle East and North Africa. While other regionsCentral Asia, Eastern Europe, and Latin America, in particularhave been actively introducing reforms to their pension systems, Middle East and North African countries have lagged behind. This is explained, in part, by the common belief that, because demographics remain favorablethe countries are young and the labor force is expanding rapidlyfinancial problems are far in the future; as a result, pension reform does not have to be a priority in the broader policy agenda.However, the authors show that aging is not the only factor behind a financial crisis; the problem is the generosity of the current schemes. Moreover, badly designed benefit formulas and eligibility conditions introduce unnecessary economic distortions and make the systems vulnerable to adverse distributional transfers. The book does not present a general model that could solve the problems of all pension systems in Middle East and North Africa countries. Instead the authors focus on outlining a framework for guiding discussions on pension reform and making objective policy choices.This assessment will be useful for policy makers and government officials involved in pension reform in the Middle East and North Africa region.

Annotation In many low- and middle-income countries, if civil service reforms are to succeed, governments must improve their performance in a cost-effective manner. To do so requires that they strengthen the capacity of government employees to do their jobs. This book assembles a group of essays that reflect the complexities of designing civil service pay and employment reforms. It builds on a previous set of studies that identified problems and introduces current work that offers prescriptions based on better information, deeper analysis, and more extensive experience with reform implementation. The volume is divided into two parts. Part I introduces the new studies and documents the nature and extent of prevailing difficulties. Chapters on Somalia and Tanzania offer detailed strategies for reform based on empirical findings. Part II examines lessons learned from the implementation of reforms in civil service pay and employment. It draws on evidence from the World Bank's decade-long experience in helping governments implement such reforms and on the extensive reform process in Ghana.
