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 .
