Q4 2015

|
After the Government took office in 2016, the Public Administration Reform Council had a meeting in December 2016. MPALSG prepared information on decentralisation for members of the Council (the Information is a summary of analyses made before preparation of the Strategy and which were implemented as activities under APPAR, model, situation analysis, inventory of jobs...In addition, an activity plan for preparation of the Strategy has been developed. The Council will pass a final decision on the basis of the abovementioned information/proposal). In accordance with the proposed agenda, other issues of higher priority were addressed at this session of the Public Administration Reform Council so decentralisation could not be included in the agenda. MPALSG had a number of consultations with interested actors for the decentralisation process and prepared a draft activity plan for the following period. A documentation basis was prepared for development of the Decentralisation Strategy.
