Abstract
Papua New Guinea has been undergoing
a major process of public sector reform
since 1999, with substantial donor assistance.
With the proliferation of new programs, new
initiatives and restructuring, however, it has
been difficult, even for senior civil servants,
to keep up with the changes being introduced,
and it is sometimes hard for outsiders to judge
whether a new initiative represents an active
program or simply a good idea which may be
forgotten or diverted before its implementation.
Moreover, with a fairly high level of staff
turnover, poor documentation processes, and
weak institutional memories, and donors
frequently poorly informed about the past
history of public sector reform, there has been
some tendency to overlook the potential lessons
of past failures and successes
