• W3125751491 abstract "Development practitioners still lack a critical mass of empirical evidence that can help identify the set of interventions that are most likely to work, and inform the design and implementation of feasible reforms. This article contributes to filling this gap by looking at the case of the ‘Sierra Leone Pay and Performance Project’, a World Bank-supported initiative to reform the civil service. It analyzes the functional problems characterizing the civil service and discusses what factors account for the observed dysfunctions. The central argument is that the current dysfunctions might be difficult to reverse as they define a sub-optimal equilibrium which serves political purposes ( dysfunctions by design). However, politics is not all that matters. This equilibrium is further reinforced by systemic dysfunctions that may not be the consequence of any strategic design or the outcome of elite preferences ( dysfunctions by default). This is where there is scope for change, even in the short run. Accordingly, the chances of successful civil service reforms are likely to be maximized if reform initiatives support modest and incremental changes that ‘work with the grain’ of existing incentives and are consistent with government preferences. The Sierra Leone Pay and Performance Project aims to do so by adopting a limited and targeted focus on pay reform, performance management and recruitment and staffing. In addition, the use of the results-based lending instrument is expected to help mitigate the current dysfunctions by aligning the incentives of the various players and, in this way, create the conditions for greater coordination across government agencies. Although the suggested approach is not without risks, recent dynamics suggest that the chances of success are greater today than in the past. Points for practitioners The article shows how project design can be improved by identifying the functional problems underlying civil service performance, with a special focus on the interests and purposes that they serve. Such ‘prospective’ political economy analysis can inform Bank efforts to (i) identify the context-appropriate and politically salient reform solutions; (ii) design the critical path for achieving these reform objectives; and, most importantly, (iii) select the appropriate lending instrument. The Sierra Leone example also suggests that results-based lending approaches are more amenable to ‘working with the grain’ and provide a promising way forward on public service reforms in difficult political environments." @default.
