The review aimed to take stock of what has been done, identify remaining and potential new challenges, and draw lessons, as well as suggest recommendations on how to move further ahead in the coming years to foster a fair, responsible, efficient, ethical, and transparent civil service. A survey of civil servants at the Federal, Regional and Woreda levels was implemented that focused on five sectors, namely, agriculture, education, health, revenue administration, and trade. The aim of the Ethiopia Civil Servant Survey was to gather micro-level data on the perceptions and experiences of civil servants, and on the key restraints to civil servants performing their duties to the best of their abilities, and to the provision of public goods. This civil servant survey aimed to contribute to the development of diagnostic tools which would allow to better understand the incentive environments which lead to different types of behavior and the determinants of service delivery in the civil service.

Within each region 50 individuals were targeted to be interviewed, except in Addis Ababa, where the target was 40 due to not having an agriculture bureau, and except in Oromiya, where, due to additional funds becoming available, the target became 60. Within each Woreda, 25 individuals were planned to be sampled. Public servants, including managers and non-managers at the Federal, Regional and Woreda levels. Aggregate data [agg] The Ethiopian civil servants survey focused on the three major policy making tiers of government: Federal; Regional; and Woreda. The Ministry of Public Sector and Human Resource Development identified the 5 core sectors that the survey should include: agriculture, education, health, revenue, and trade. The decision was made then to plan to interview a sufficient number of individuals from each of those tiers and allocate the remaining funds to Woreda-level interviews. The study covered the following topics: - Demographic and work history information - Management practices - Turnover - Recruitment and selection - Attitude - Time use and bottlenecks - Information - Information technology - Stakeholder engagement - Reforms - Woreda and city benchmarking To provide a large sample for statistical analysis, while remaining within budget, the Ethiopian civil servants survey focused on the three major policy making tiers of government: Federal; Regional; and Woreda. The Ministry of Public Sector and Human Resource Development identified the 5 core sectors that the survey should include: agriculture, education, health, revenue, and trade. The decision was made then to plan to interview a sufficient number of individuals from each of those tiers and allocate the remaining funds to Woreda-level interviews. With this methodology, with the funds available, 70 Woredas were included in the target sample at the planning stage. At the Federal level 330 individuals were planned to be interviewed; 550 at the Region level; and 1615 at the Woreda level. Within each region 50 individuals were targeted to be interviewed, except in Addis Ababa, where the target was 40 due to not having an agriculture bureau, and except in Oromiya, where, due to additional funds becoming available, the target became 60. Within each Woreda, 25 individuals were planned to be sampled. Stratified randomization was conducted to select 70 Woredas from the 9 regional states in a way that is proportional to the size of the region (in terms of number of Woredas as per the 2007 census). However, 4 Woredas were dropped due to security challenges.
