PSC Review

[Samiuela Loni Vea Taufa]

Lote,

Found this post, discussed in the ADB's support document for working with the Government of Tonga on the "Economic Public Sector Reform Program"

Do you know if there was anything published on the, TOR 1

Describe the size and structure of the public service by gender, the terms and conditions of employment including the incentive system, and provide a summary analysis of its efficiency and effectiveness in recent service delivery

It may have lead to whatever is the existing Terms and Conditions, Incentive System.

Otherwise, do you have a "Terms and Conditions of Employment" ? Is there a generic one that would be relevant for ICT staff, or general staff.


Thanks,


Sam T
