Staff Management and Organisational Performance in Tanzania and Uganda: Public Servant Perspectives
March 2007
Danish Institute for International Studies
Abstract
This report is the result of work carried out by a team of Tanzanian, Ugandan and Danish consultants. The assignment, funded by Danida, started in September 2005. Information was collected in Tanzania and Uganda from December 2005 to March 2006. A draft final report was distributed in May 2006. Comments to this report from the Tanzanian and Ugandan authorities as well as from Danida and various resource persons were in hand by mid-November. This final report incorporates these comments.
The team wishes to thank the two anchor institutions for their support in carrying out this work, namely the President’s Office, Public Service Management, Tanzania and the Ministry of Public Service, Uganda.
Thanks, too, to the more than 400 public servants in Tanzania and Uganda who, in one way or the other, provided information for this study. They did so with considerable interest and engagement. Finally, we wish to thank the people who took time to comment on the draft report. We have tried to do justice to their criticisms and suggestions.
The views expressed in the report are those of the authors and do not necessarily reflect the opinions and assessments of the Tanzania, Ugandan or Danish authorities.
