Somaliland Civil Service Strengthening Project Phase II development objective is to strengthen basic functions for payroll, human resources and policy management in selected central government agencies and line ministries, and to establish a human resource information system and pension system for civil servants.
The CSSP II project will fund technical assistance and capacity building in support of continuation and completion of reforms initiated under the original CSSP (P155123); limited expansion of these reforms (e.g. support to implementation of the public sector pension reform); a few new activities, in response to the COVID-19 pandemic; and closing the financing gap resulted from the CSSP design stage underestimated cost of doing business in Somaliland.
The CSSP II design will emphasize creation of incentives for policy makers to support reforms and, therefore, will consider using PBCs as a continuation of practices successfully implemented in the original CSSP.
