The system directs training and continuous education in the public sector to develop leaders’ and employees’ skills, based on performance evaluation results and annual training plans. Promotions in the public sector will be linked to merit and entitlement, meeting job conditions, requirements, and competencies.
The system also seeks to establish an integrated accountability framework that ensures adherence to job conduct rules and public service
