Civil service review, DFID Anguilla
Civil Service efficiency review for the Government of Anguilla
The objective of this DFID funded review is to provide technical advice to the Department of Public Administration (DPA) on the design and execution of a civil service efficiency review. Key tasks include developing a sound methodology for the civil service efficiency review, overseeing two pilot inspections and recommend any adjustments to the methodology; assisting in building the capacity of DPA to implement the civil service efficiency review methodology and to agree a workplan for completion of the full civil service efficiency review. In addition Delta conducted the design and trial application of a robust methodology for evaluating the efficiency and effectiveness of departments which:
- DPA has shown itself capable of applying in practice;
- improves the function of Anguilla’s civil service to provide greater value for money;
- produces recommendations which can be understood by departments and staff and are capable of being implemented in practice; and
- is suitable for roll-out across all departments.
The main achievements to date have been:
- Developing a methodology for reviewing overarching efficiency / effectiveness of the civil service;
- Training and guiding 22 civil servants in the review process, supported by a handbook;
- Performing analysis of the performance of 7 portfolio clusters of departments;
- Proposing 53 recommendations across the civil service for improving efficiency / effectiveness and analysing support, indicative benefits, potential post savings and potential cost savings of each;
- Assessing options for the best way forward to achieve optimal results.
