2(i ). Systems of patronage :
Political patronage often leads to vested
interests that see the civil service as a source of
personal gain through pay , promotions, and
employment status . Such interests are likely to
see any reforms to the civil service as a threat
to these benefits. Similarly many within the civil
service benefit from being able to dole out public
money , jobs, and other contracts and are unlikely
to willingly give up such powers. the Solution to the problem is Repucci suggests that civil service reform
projects faced with strong patronage systems
work best when they focus on specific areas .
Focussing on , for example , merit -based
recruitment can both improve civil service reform
while at the same time chip away at the power
of vested interests .
ii )
Sustainable reform :
Civil service reform can be costly in terms of
time and money , and many countries undergoing
reform could not afford to undertake it without
donor support . However donor support cannot be
indefinite and donors therefore need to ensure
that the reforms can continue once their funding
is focussed elsewhere . the
Solution to the problem ;
Repucci states that to achieve this sustainable
reform it must be designed so that recurrent
costs can be met by domestic resources . This
involves performing successful economic and
political calculations during the planning process .
iii ) Lack of an analytical framework:
The data and evidence necessary to conduct an
analysis of civil service reform is not always
easy to come by . Conducting research , such as
a census , to determine this necessary
information can be a costly and time-consuming
process. Consequently it is often difficult to find
a baseline against which to measure progress .
Furthermore many analysts argue that it is
impossible to measure progress in civil service
reform due to the many factors that affect
developments .
iv ) Donors :
The final challenges Repucci highlights are
created by donors themselves . Short budget
cycles, staff rotation, and priority shifts can lead
to a lack of stability . Furthermore donors often
do not coordinate with each other as well as
they could .
v ) Political will:
Repucci highlights political will as the greatest
single challenge to civil service reform . If
political leaders are not invested in reform then
donors are unlikely to make any major headway .
Political will is so important to civil service
reform because the civil service is fundamental
to the political system to the extent that change
cannot take place without the agreement of the
most powerful players . They are essential both in
terms of ensuring reforms continue over the long
term and as a source of accountability.
Furthermore civil service reform can be politically
costly upfront and as such politicians are unlikely
to persist with it unless truly committed .
