Project Information
OPM has been engaged by DFID to is support the development of pay, employment, management and organisational reforms in the Ministry of Health (MoH), Cambodia. The objective is to improve staff productivity and sector management effectiveness, with particular emphasis on supplying better health services to poor people. OPM has supported a detailed consultative process by a MoH team to define MoH core functions and to determine optimal reform design. It has analysed health workforce incentives in local labour markets and prepared resource projections as the basis for proposing affordable enhanced wage rates for MoH staff. It has supported a `functional analysis' to determine work patterns in MoH as the basis for identifying functions that require accelerated development. It is supporting the introduction of a simple performance management regime to facilitate better team working.
