Predominantly career-based Lack of transparency in recruitment
procedures and proper training of interviewers
Higher-level positions are primarily filled from within the Civil Service or party; selection criteria are largely political
Rapid economic growth has pulled qualified civil servants to the private sector

Pay is based on a salary scale anchored on minimum wage, with coefficients
Salary scale is relatively compressed Many civil servants supplement income
with other sources Civil servants receive non-wage benefits
and incentives worth more than their salary

Moving towards a more position-based civil service would support PFM reform in particular, and the PAR MP in general, by:◦ attracting the right people for the right jobs ◦ monitoring employees with improved
performance management measures◦ having higher levels of retention with
attractive compensation packages
