Moreover, it raises a question about the uses (and misuses), in countries where governance capacities are weak, of new public management models of organization. This article explores Tanzania's donor-funded executive agency programme, as one part of its wider civil service reforms. Drawing on empirical research, it examines the power structures and interdependencies between Ministers, departments and NPM style semi-autonomous agencies and the potential for rent-seeking behaviur and perverse outcomes. - Reproduced. aCivil service aPublic Administration and Development
