Public Sector Capacity Building Program
|
|
|
|
The objective of the Public Sector Capacity Building (PSCAP) Program in Ethiopia is to (i) improve the scale, efficiency, and responsiveness of public service delivery at the federal, regional, and local level;(ii) Empower citizens to participate more effectively in shaping their own development; and (iii) Promote good governance and accountability. |
Project Components
Component 1, Federal PSCAP, supports federal level activities across each of the six subprograms including those capacity building activities for which there are scale and network economies including those activities that require national level prototyping. The component is required to include basic program support activities to ensure effective implementation.
Component 2, Regional PSCAP, constitutes the bulk of the Program and is designed to empower regions to adapt and implement national reform and capacity building priorities envisaged under PSCAP's six subprograms in a manner that is efficient, accountable, and sustainable. Synergies and trade-offs between key subprograms will be fully leveraged through this component. Regions will also shift resources year-to-year and in-year from poor performing to higher performing subprogram activities. This component is also required to include basic program support activities to ensure effective implementation.
Donor Involvement
The Bank has sought to support the Government’s PSCAP with a five-year, US$l00 million Support Project, using a Sector Investment Loan or SIL. The Support Project aims to leverage considerable bilateral assistance,which will be provided under a Sector-Wide Approach through (i) pooling of funds through Channel 1 , which is Government’s preferred modality for leveraging assistance under PSCAP,and (ii) third party or Channel 3 arrangements. Transitional arrangements for donors with existingprojects are being identified to further encourage harmonization around the SWAP. |
