Many African countries have lost the capacity to pay for a high quality civil service due in part to the poverty of their economies, the structure of politics and administration, globalization, and wrong-headed reform programmes. A few countries in the region have adopted a strategic performance management approach to civil service reform that aligns the diversity of reform efforts in the public service. This strategy focuses attention on performance and productivity, the attraction and retention of skilled staff and senior management who in turn oversee a new culture of accountable use of resources for results. All of these are core to improving pay and the quantity, quality and performance of the civil service and the state in the region. - Reproduced.  aCivil service - Africa  aCivil service - Salaries, etc.  aCivil service  aInternational Review of Administrative Sciences  aN  a90511  c90511d90511  00104070aIIPAbIIPAd2018-07-19hVolume no: 76, Issue no: 4pAR90971r2018-07-19w2018-07-19yAR
