Conclusions and recommendations
Institutional development Plan needs to be the central theme for the 2007-2010 planning cycle
and the key recommendations will be translated in to meaningful actions to strengthen the
development process. Institutional Development Working Group will be reorganized to
include more key senior managers in the Central MoH; National Programmes and Health
Partners. The implementation of Performance Management System is a key to set standards in
the work performance and needs to be natured in all the departments across the central MoH.
The MBPI scheme is now well poised to be implemented during 2007 and the steps in the
implementation process will provide wider opportunities for MoH senior managers on
performance related pay management system. The process of implementation will be
documented so that the same could be applied for the proposed extension to selected PHDs
and National Programmes.
