【 摘 要 】

Limited state capacity to carry out coregovernment and service delivery functions poses a majorconstraint in post conflict countries, especially those withlow income levels. With regard to scope, the researchcarried out for this note primarily focuses on developing adetailed understanding of how civil service institutes areestablished and function, and to reflect on availableinformation about their impact. This note synthesizes thefindings from case studies covering three countries and fourpublic service training institutes: Rwanda (RwandaManagement Institute (RMI)); Uganda (Civil Service CollegeUganda (CSCU)); and Liberia (Liberia Institute of PublicAdministration (LIPA) and the Financial Management TrainingProgram (FMTP)). The general policy rationale forestablishing institutes of public service has been toimprove national public sector capacity; while a key choiceinvolves investing in longer and more in-depth orshorter-term training. To deliver training, a mix of somepermanent staff with consultants recruited from the publicsectors has worked well.
