The conditions for change management
• Change will be perceived an legitimate if there is a conjunction of certain factors: dissatisfaction; a vision; and a will for changeo Reminder: Gleicher’s equation
• There must be one or more champions. Without political support and a strong leadership to prevent resistance, the reform will be gutted.o Champion: Finance Minister, Prime Minister, etc.

• Institutions (formal and informal rules): the intent of the reform
• Organisations• Ministry of Finance (+Prime Minister, Plan …)
– Must be in charge of monitoring– Must be organised in such a way that it can carry out dialogue with
other sectors• Sectorial Ministries
– Often put aside in reforms– Or, on the contrary, are the sole focus of donors, who disregard the
system as a whole• A key aspect: the finance-sector dialogue (or finance-sector-
plan)20
Capacity building (2)
![Page 21: The Issues of Budgetary Reform Unit 3. PFM Reform – Change Management Module 3.1. Essential tasks, change management 1.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649e525503460f94b47d91/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
• Individuals’ skills and motivations• Upgrading skills
• Technical training• General training and raising awareness
• Incentives• Attracting, retaining and motivating the skilled individuals• Low compensation is a problem in many DC (though not so much
in the Maghreb), but financial constraints reduce the possibilities for substantial salary raises
• Other forms of incentives?– Eg. Promotions, – Be careful in the patronage-dominated systems
