Public Sector Master Rationalisation Plan 5 Recommendations for Restructuring of Ministries, Departments and Agencies PSTU: May 2011
INTRODUCTION This Public Sector Master Rationalization Plan contains the recommendations for rationalizing and transforming the entire Public Sector. The paper addresses the rationalization of the Public Sector at the strategic level and examines Ministries and their respective Departments and Agencies, in relation to their mandates and core functions. The determination of their treatment has been based on extensive consultations with various stakeholders, including the recommendations of the Public Administration and Appropriations Committee and final sign off by the Cabinet on May 2, 2011. The UNDP contracted PriceWaterhouseCoopers (PWC) to the PSTU, to determine the cost of implementing the recommendations contained in the MRP and the expected savings to be realized by the GOJ, upon implementation. The analysis indicates that if all recommendations are implemented, there will be net savings of J$49.74 billion over a five (5) year period, with J$25.45 billion accruing in the first two years. Background Reference is made to Cabinet Decision # 49/09 dated November 2, 2009, which stated the decision of the Cabinet to rationalize the Public Sector. The Public Sector Transformation Unit (PSTU) was established in November 2009 with the mandate to “lead, monitor, evaluate and facilitate the implementation of the restructuring of the Public Sector for efficient, effective and economical government”, to realise the vision of “a transformed cohesive Public Sector that is performance-based, efficient, cost effective and service oriented.” A critical part of the governance structure for transforming the Public Sector is the Consultative Monitoring Group (CMG) which was established by Cabinet to have general oversight of the work of the PSTU, review the recommendations and the strategies being pursued and to monitor the implementation of the recommendations. In rationalizing the Public Sector, careful consideration was given to the role, core functions and priorities of Government. The understanding of the role of Government was guided by the areas articulated by the Prime Minister in Parliament on September 30, 2009, in which he highlighted the responsibilities of Government as stated: A safe, healthy and secure environment Effective and accessible justice system Good quality education system Access to basic health care Social welfare support for the disadvantaged and vulnerable Public Sector Master Rationalisation Plan 6 Recommendations for Restructuring of Ministries, Departments and Agencies PSTU: May 2011
