Transformation of the Public Service under Fiscal and Constitutional Constraints: An Analysis of the Relationship between Human Resource Development and Representativeness.
Abstract
The essence of the study is to examine progress in the transformation of public
service under fiscal and constitutional contraints. The thesis focuses on the
implementation of affirmative action and human resource development programmes.
The emphasis is on linking the transformation of the public service with the
attainment of RDP goals and objectives. The reform of the public service should
create opportunities for the employment of new staff to improve the
representativeness of the civil service, whilst at the same time increasing the
efficiency and effectiveness of government, and generating significant savings to help
reduce the fiscal deficit and release resource for productive investment.
